Subject: [PATCH v11 20/46] KVM: SEV: Make 'uaddr' parameter optional for KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:18:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826-gmem-inplace-conversion-v11-20-0a15d8a799aa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826-gmem-inplace-conversion-v11-0-0a15d8a799aa@google.com>
From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@amd.com>
Make the source page for populating an SNP guest_memfd instance optional
if in-place conversion/population is enabled. If KVM can convert the page
in-place, then it's possible for guest memory to be initialized directly
from userspace by mmap()'ing the guest_memfd and writing to it while the
corresponding GPA ranges are in a 'shared' state, before converting them
to the 'private' state expected by KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE.
Update the handling/documentation for KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE to allow
for 'uaddr' to be set to NULL when in-place conversion is enabled, which
SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE will then use to determine when it should/shouldn't
copy in data from a separate memory location. Continue to enforce
non-NULL when PRIVATE is tracked per-VM, not per-guest_memfd.
