Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 34/45] KVM: TDX: Handle removal of leaf SPTEs in .set_private_spte()
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:15:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129011517.3545883-35-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129011517.3545883-1-seanjc@google.com>
Drop kvm_x86_ops.remove_external_spte(), and instead handling the removal
of leaf SPTEs in the S-EPT (a.k.a. external root) in .set_private_spte().
This will allow extending tdx_sept_set_private_spte() to support splitting
a huge S-EPT entry without needing yet another kvm_x86_ops hook.
Bug the VM if the callback fails, as redundant KVM_BUG_ON() calls are
benign (the WARN will fire if and only if the VM isn't already bugged) and
handle_changed_spte() is most definitely not prepared to handle failure.
