Subject: [PATCH 14/17] KVM: x86/mmu: Remove KVM_BUG_ON() that checks lock when removing PTs
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 13:14:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327201421.2824383-15-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327201421.2824383-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
As part of an ongoing effort to move TDX specific bits from the MMU into
the TDX code, drop the KVM_BUG_ON() that checks the MMU lock is held for
write while removing page tables.
Future changes forward PTE removal mirror EPT updates into the
set_private_spte() and let TDX code parse the PTE to decide what S-EPT
operations to take. This operations does not pass a shared bool for this
KVM_BUG_ON() to use in the logics future home.
But even today there are already MMU write lockdep asserts that mostly
cover the case. Since the KVM_BUG_ON() is already a bit redundant, just
remove it instead of trying to plumb the bool into TDX code.
