Subject: [PATCH v8 08/11] KVM: TDX: Get/put PAMT pages when (un)mapping private memory
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 17:22:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260725002302.3337017-9-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260725002302.3337017-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

Add Dynamic PAMT support to KVM's S-EPT MMU by "getting" a PAMT page when
adding guest memory (PAGE.ADD or PAGE.AUG), and "putting" the page when
removing guest memory (PAGE.REMOVE).

To access the per-vCPU PAMT caches without plumbing @vcpu throughout the
TDP MMU, begrudgingly use kvm_get_running_vcpu() to get the vCPU, and bug
the VM if KVM attempts to set an S-EPT leaf without an active vCPU.  KVM
only supports creating _new_ mappings in page (pre)fault paths, all of
which require an active vCPU.

The PAMT memory holds metadata for TDX protected memory. With Dynamic
PAMT, PAMT_4K is allocated on demand. The kernel supplies the TDX module
with a few pages that cover 2MB of host physical memory.

Releases are balanced via tdx_pamt_put(): every control-page free goes
through tdx_free_control_page(), and guest data pages are put directly on
the successful tdh_mem_page_remove() path and in the
tdx_mem_page_add/aug() error path.

v8:
 - Remove extra new line around *topup_external_cache() (Sean)
 - Make +1/-1 logic clearer by just coding the easily optimizable math.
   (Nikolay, Sean)
 - Do KVM_BUG_ON() on tdx_pamt_get() return. (Sean)

v7:
 - Don't do to_tdx() before NULL check for readability (Binbin, Sean)
 - Fixup tags (Sean)
 - Export tdx_supports_dynamic_pamt() since it's used in KVM here and no
   longer an static inline.
