Subject: [PATCH v4 08/10] KVM: SEV: Advertise SVM_SEV_FEAT_SNP_ACTIVE
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 18:56:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804235611.4053375-9-kim.phillips@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804235611.4053375-1-kim.phillips@amd.com>

Allow userspace to set the feature in kvm_sev_init.vmsa_features.

KVM still needs to set the flag for backwards compatibility, but
disallowing SVM_SEV_FEAT_SNP_ACTIVE for an SNP guest is "bizarre."
