Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However, that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions, because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM. The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior -- malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs -- we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on" So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly" property. For VM templating, one can now use: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,... But we'll disallow: -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,... because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner. We will also disallow for now: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,... -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,... It's not harmful, but also not really required for now. Alternatives that were abandoned: * Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory (temporary files, system RAM, ...). * Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues as with "unarmed=on". * Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type. This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter: values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be accepted.
