Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] x86/virt/tdx: Re-initialize the extensions on runtime TDX module update
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2026 01:41:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006-tdx-module-ext-v3-5-db52cb05b918@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006-tdx-module-ext-v3-0-db52cb05b918@linux.intel.com>

Runtime TDX module update introduces a mechanism to update the module
firmware while preserving and restoring TDX operations. The extensions
functionalities should also be re-initialized as part of the restoration
process.

The TDX architecture supports an update flow which allows updated
extensions to consume more memory than their original boot-time
requirement. So the arch defines the extensions re-initialization flow
the same as boot-up initialization: the host queries TDX module how much
additional memory needed, allocates it, adds it to the module via
TDH.EXT.MEM.ADD, then re-initializes the extensions via TDH.EXT.INIT.

Linux runs the updates in stop_machine() context, which prevents memory
allocation. So for Linux, a compatible update must not install updated
extensions that require additional memory.

Given that the memory for the extensions must not increase, the
re-initialization skips the memory adding steps. It is simplified as:

  - Check if the extensions are supported via TDX_FEATURES0_EXT. If not,
    skip the extensions re-initialization.

  - Re-initialize the extensions via TDH.EXT.INIT. The SEAMCALL leaf
    will fail if the updated extensions require more memory, which
    indicates the update image is not compatible.

v3:
 - Add this patch back cause the latest discussion decides the
   re-initialization won't be integrated in TDH.SYS.UPDATE, a dedicated
   TDH.EXT.INIT call is still needed (Dave & Rick)
 - Drop the ext_required check (Rick)
 - Rename the reinit function as reinit_tdx_module_extensions() (Tony)
 - Move the reinit function right under tdh_sys_update() (Rick)

v2:
 - Removed this patch cause the TDX module is expected to re-initialize
   the extensions on TDH.SYS.UPDATE

v1:
 - Don't update the extensions metadata any more, only check the
   metadata originated at boot time.
 - Remove memory_pool_required_pages check, let TDH.EXT.INIT fail if
   more memory required.
 - Changelog & code comments
