Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Add throttling detection to sev-guest
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 17:35:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221019173537.1238121-1-dionnaglaze@google.com> (raw)

The guest request synchronous API from SEV-SNP VMs to the host's security
processor consumes a global resource. For this reason, AMD's docs
recommend that the host implements a throttling mechanism. In order for
the guest to know it's been throttled and should try its request again,
we need some good-faith communication from the host that the request
has been throttled.

These patches work with the existing /dev/sev-guest ABI to detect a
throttling code.

Changes from v1:
  * Changed throttle error code to 2
