Subject: [PATCH] x86/virt/tdx: Warn on !4K level in tdh_mem_page_aug()
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:55:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825025533.25663-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com> (raw)
Add a warning on a !4K level to loudly flag the unexpected condition when
callers pass in a level > 4K before tdh_mem_page_aug() supports huge pages.
The warning makes the unexpected condition more obvious since the SEAMCALL
TDH_MEM_PAGE_AUG does not necessarily fail when the level is above 4K,
while tdh_mem_page_aug() only flushes the cache for a 4K page before huge
page support is added.
Do not drop the "level" parameter instead, as it will be needed once huge
page support is added.
Do not use a stronger BUG_ON() because the cache flush is only needed when
the TDX module exposes a CLFLUSH_BEFORE_ALLOC bit, which has not yet been
observed in any TDX modules.
