Subject: [PATCH 02/17] KVM: x86/mmu: Update iter->old_spte if cmpxchg64 on mirror SPTE "fails"
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 13:14:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327201421.2824383-3-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327201421.2824383-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
Pass a pointer to iter->old_spte, not simply its value, when setting an
external SPTE in __tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic(), so that the iterator's value
will be updated if the cmpxchg64 to freeze the mirror SPTE fails. The bug
is currently benign as TDX is mutualy exclusive with all paths that do
"local" retry", e.g. clear_dirty_gfn_range() and wrprot_gfn_range().
Fixes: 77ac7079e66d ("KVM: x86/tdp_mmu: Propagate building mirror page tables")
