Subject: [PATCH v9 19/23] x86/virt/tdx: Refresh TDX module version after update
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 08:10:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513151045.1420990-20-chao.gao@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513151045.1420990-1-chao.gao@intel.com>

The kernel exposes the TDX module version through sysfs so userspace can
check update compatibility. That information needs to remain accurate
across runtime updates.

A runtime update may change the module's update_version, so refresh the
cached version right after a successful update.

Drop __ro_after_init from tdx_sysinfo because it is now updated at runtime.

Do not refresh the rest of tdx_sysinfo, even if some values change across
updates. TDX module updates are backward compatible, so existing
tdx_sysinfo consumers, e.g. KVM, can continue to operate without seeing the
new values.

Refreshing the full structure would be risky. A tdx_sysinfo consumer may
initialize its TDX support based on the features originally reported in
tdx_sysinfo. If a runtime update adds new features and the full structure
is refreshed, that consumer could observe and use the newly reported
features without having performed the setup required to use them safely.

v9:
- don't print old and new version [Dave]
- explain why it's OK to hide changes from the tdx_sysinfo users [Dave]
- update versions in stop_machine context
- don't mention major/minor versions are idential across updates. That fact is
  not relevant here.
