Subject: [PATCH v11 2/8] KVM: SEV: Enforce minimum GHCB version requirement for SEV-SNP guests
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 16:48:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819234833.3080255-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819234833.3080255-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@amd.com>
Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests through
KVM_SEV_INIT2. When a VMM attempts to start an SEV-SNP guest with an
incompatible GHCB version (less than 2), reject the request early rather
than allowing the guest kernel to start with an incorrect protocol version
and fail later with GHCB_SNP_UNSUPPORTED guest termination.
Not enforcing the minimum version typically causes the guest to request
termination with GHCB_SNP_UNSUPPORTED error code:
kvm_amd: SEV-ES guest requested termination: 0x0:0x2
Fixes: 4af663c2f64a ("KVM: SEV: Allow per-guest configuration of GHCB protocol version")
