Subject: [PATCH v3 03/12] KVM: SEV: Mark vCPU RUNNABLE after AP_CREATE, even if VMSA is unusable
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:25:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630222607.497895-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630222607.497895-1-seanjc@google.com>

Always mark the vCPU as RUNNABLE after responding to AP_CREATE, even if the
guest-specified VMSA is unusable, e.g. isn't backed by a memslot or doesn't
have a backing guest_memfd page.  If the VMSA is unusable, leaving the vCPU
in a non-running state will effectively hang the vCPU instead of reporting
an error to userspace.  This will also allow retrying the VMSA load in the
future, to fix a bug where KVM doesn't honor guest_memfd invalidation
events, e.g. if AP_CREATION races with PUNCH_HOLE.
