Rename kvm_slot_can_be_private() to kvm_slot_has_gmem() to improve clarity and accurately reflect its purpose. The function kvm_slot_can_be_private() was previously used to check if a given kvm_memory_slot is backed by guest_memfd. However, its name implied that the memory in such a slot was exclusively "private". As guest_memfd support expands to include non-private memory (e.g., shared host mappings), it's important to remove this association. The new name, kvm_slot_has_gmem(), states that the slot is backed by guest_memfd without making assumptions about the memory's privacy attributes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
