Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] KVM: selftests: SEV: Verify unsupported VM types are rejected at creation
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 22:17:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709164751.621326-2-hemanth.selam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709164751.621326-1-hemanth.selam@gmail.com>
test_vm_types() only exercised creation of the SEV/SEV-ES/SEV-SNP VM
types that the platform actually supports, leaving the previously noted
TODO ("check that unsupported types cannot be created") unaddressed.
Add test_create_invalid_type() which issues a raw KVM_CREATE_VM for a
given type and asserts it fails with -EINVAL, and invoke it for
KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM / KVM_X86_SNP_VM whenever the corresponding capability
is not advertised. Because vm_create_barebones_type() asserts that
KVM_CREATE_VM succeeds, the check is issued directly against the KVM fd
so the negative path can be observed.
While here, stop shadowing the file-scope kvm_fd with a local in main()
so the new helper can use it.
