Changes
Do not store UFFD handle in VMM. The UFFD object gets dropped as soon as the last reference to it (in the handler) goes away.
Reason
This is required to make sure no further UFFD messages will be sent to the handler that is no longer available to avoid an infinite lockup.
This is relevant for Secret Free VMs, because the UFFD handler uses
writeinstead ofUFFDIO_COPYto prepopulate guest memory and is not required to preinstall userspace page tables while doing it.License Acceptance
