Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] KVM: SEV: Mark vCPU RUNNABLE after AP_CREATE, even if VMSA is unusable
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:14:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626231416.3943216-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626231416.3943216-1-seanjc@google.com>
Always mark the vCPU as RUNNABLE after responding to AP_CREATE, even if the
guest-specified VMSA is unusable, e.g. isn't backed by a memslot or doesn't
have a backing guest_memfd page. If the VMSA is unusable, leaving the vCPU
in a non-running state will effectively hang the vCPU instead of reporting
an error to userspace. This will also allow retrying the VMSA load in the
future, to fix a bug where KVM doesn't honor guest_memfd invalidation
events, e.g. if AP_CREATION races with PUNCH_HOLE.
