Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] KVM: SEV: Skip SNP-safe allocation when HvInUseWrAllowed is supported
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 15:20:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250825152009.3512-3-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250825152009.3512-1-nikunj@amd.com>

When HvInUseWrAllowed (CPUID 8000001F EAX[30]) is supported, the CPU allows
hypervisor writes to in-use pages without RMP violations, making the 2MB
alignment workaround unnecessary. Check for this capability to avoid the
allocation overhead when it's not needed.
