Subject: [PATCH v4 16/17] [GMEM-DEPENDENT] KVM: TDX: Implement .gmem_prezap() hook to split S-EPT
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:12:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928091227.15727-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928090729.15468-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com>
Implement the .gmem_prezap() hook to split S-EPT huge mappings before
guest_memfd zaps S-EPT, in case KVM zaps only a subset of an S-EPT huge
mapping's range. This allows guest_memfd to precisely zap/remove S-EPT
entries to avoid clobbering guest memory, as the lifetime of guest private
memory is tied to the S-EPT. That is, KVM must first split a huge mapping
so that it does not over-zap irrelevant subranges of the huge mapping,
which could cause TD termination.
