Subject: [PATCH 0/5] KVM: SEV: Drop user-triggerable WARN clean up REG_REGION
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:32:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313003302.3136111-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Drop a WARN in sev_pin_memory() that is comically easy to trigger, and then
clean up the code a bit.
*** WARNING ***
The last patch impacts KVM's ABI due to a size restriction that's applied to
kvmalloc() but not vmalloc(). If my math is correct (definitely a big "if),
it will only impact VMMs that attempt to do KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION with
a single region of ~1TiB+.
Liam, I Cc'd you specifically because it looks like Oracle supports SEV VMs
with more than 1TiB of _total_ memory. I assume that's spread across multiple
memslots and thus multiple KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION calls, but I wanted to
double check before potentially breaking userspace.
Sean Christopherson (5):
KVM: SEV: Drop WARN on large size for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION
KVM: SEV: Drop useless sanity checks in sev_mem_enc_register_region()
KVM: SEV: Disallow pinning more pages than exist in the system
KVM: SEV: Use PFN_DOWN() to simplify "number of pages" math when
pinning memory
KVM: SEV: Use kvzalloc_objs() when pinning userpages
