Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: SEV: Explicitly disallow NULL user address for SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:37:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630213711.479692-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630213711.479692-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
Explicitly reject a NULL userspace virtual address for the source page of
SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE instead of relying on the post-populate callback to do
the check, and don't WARN on failure, as the scenario is blatantly user-
triggerable, as reported by Sashiko. Waiting until post-populate to check
the address "works", but makes it unnecessarily difficult to see that KVM's
ABI is to disallow a NULL source page for non-ZERO pages.
Note, several existing VMMs pass a valid userspace address for the ZERO
case, i.e. KVM can't *require* the userspace address to be NULL for ZERO
pages, at least not without breaking userspace.
Fixes: dee5a47cc7a4 ("KVM: SEV: Add KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE command")
