Subject: [PATCH] x86/unaccepted_memory: Do not accept ranges that are no longer E820 RAM
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 05:31:27 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102113127.161823-1-pankaj.gupta@amd.com> (raw)

The EFI stub builds the unaccepted memory bitmap before the kernel parses
its command line.  Option memmap=<size>$<addr> removes RAM from the E820
map while its bits are still set in the bitmap.

The removed range, such as a memmap=...$... hole, is then still treated as
unaccepted RAM and accept_memory() tries to accept it.  The hole is not
mapped, so on SEV-SNP the PVALIDATE faults and the guest crashes early in
the boot:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8a14bfe00000
  RIP: 0010:pvalidate_pages+0xc0/0x250
   set_pages_state+0x41a/0x440
   snp_accept_memory+0x3e/0x50
   accept_memory+0x186/0x260
   __free_pages_core+0xd2/0x240
   memblock_free_pages+0x1b/0x30
   memblock_free_all+0x275/0x2d0

This was seen with memmap=2M$0x1ffe00000, a 2 MiB hole in RAM, on a 19 GiB
SNP guest with lazy acceptance.

Fixes: 2053bc57f367 ("efi: Add unaccepted memory support")
