Subject: [PATCH v5 5/7] KVM: guest_memfd: Explicitly pass number of pages to kvm_arch_gmem_prepare()
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:10:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714231015.3337831-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714231015.3337831-1-seanjc@google.com>
Tweak the guest_memfd prepare() hook to explicitly pass the number of pages
to "prepare", so that the prepare() and invalidate() hooks can be combined
into a single convert() hook, and because the existing code is outright
broken if a guest_memfd folio is comprised of more than one page (which
can't happen, yet). guest_memfd aligns the pfn down, and the SNP code
*tries* to create a corresponding huge entry, but if the RMP must use 4KiB
entries for whatever reason, KVM will only "prepare" the first pfn, and not
the actual pfn that needs to be converted/prepared.
Alternatively, @max_order could simply be repurposed as _the_ @order, but
that will fall apart when in-place conversion comes along, at which point
KVM will need to deal with conversions that aren't strictly bound to a one
folio.
WARN in the SNP code if the number of pages to prepare is anything other
than '1', i.e. if guest_memfd is trying to prepare/convert more than a
single 4KiB page, as sev_gmem_prepare() doesn't actually handle conversion
greater than order-0 folios.
Opportunistically swap the ordering of @pfn and @gfn params for
kvm_x86_ops.gmem_prepare() to match that of kvm_arch_gmem_prepare().
Fixes: b85524314a3d ("KVM: guest_memfd: delay kvm_gmem_prepare_folio() until the memory is passed to the guest")
