Subject: [PATCH v3 02/24] x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL wrapper tdh_mem_page_demote()
Date: Tue,  6 Jan 2026 18:18:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106101849.24889-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106101646.24809-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com>

From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@intel.com>

Introduce SEAMCALL wrapper tdh_mem_page_demote() to invoke
TDH_MEM_PAGE_DEMOTE, which splits a 2MB or a 1GB mapping in S-EPT into
512 4KB or 2MB mappings respectively.

SEAMCALL TDH_MEM_PAGE_DEMOTE walks the S-EPT to locate the huge mapping to
split and add a new S-EPT page to hold the 512 smaller mappings.

Parameters "gpa" and "level" specify the huge mapping to split, and
parameter "new_sept_page" specifies the 4KB page to be added as the S-EPT
page. Invoke tdx_clflush_page() before adding the new S-EPT page
conservatively to prevent dirty cache lines from writing back later and
corrupting TD memory.

tdh_mem_page_demote() may fail, e.g., due to S-EPT walk error. Callers must
check function return value and can retrieve the extended error info from
the output parameters "ext_err1", and "ext_err2".

The TDX module has many internal locks. To avoid staying in SEAM mode for
too long, SEAMCALLs return a BUSY error code to the kernel instead of
spinning on the locks. Depending on the specific SEAMCALL, the caller may
need to handle this error in specific ways (e.g., retry). Therefore, return
the SEAMCALL error code directly to the caller without attempting to handle
it in the core kernel.

Enable tdh_mem_page_demote() only on TDX modules that support feature
TDX_FEATURES0.ENHANCE_DEMOTE_INTERRUPTIBILITY, which does not return error
TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE on basic TDX (i.e., without TD partition) [2].

This is because error TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE is difficult to handle.
The TDX module provides no guaranteed maximum retry count to ensure forward
progress of the demotion. Interrupt storms could then result in a DoS if
host simply retries endlessly for TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE. Disabling
interrupts before invoking the SEAMCALL also doesn't work because NMIs can
also trigger TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE. Therefore, the tradeoff for basic
TDX is to disable the TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE error given the
reasonable execution time for demotion. [1]

v3:
- Use a var name that clearly tell that the page is used as a page table
  page. (Binbin).
- Check if TDX module supports feature ENHANCE_DEMOTE_INTERRUPTIBILITY.
  (Kai).

RFC v2:
- Refine the patch log (Rick).
- Do not handle TDX_INTERRUPTED_RESTARTABLE as the new TDX modules in
  planning do not check interrupts for basic TDX.

RFC v1:
- Rebased and split patch. Updated patch log.
