Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] crypto/ccp: Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_VLEK_LOAD)
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:15:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427161507.32686-4-tycho@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427161507.32686-1-tycho@kernel.org>
From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@kernel.org>
Sashiko notes:
> if SEV initialization fails and KVM is actively running normal VMs, could a
> userspace process trigger this code path via /dev/sev ioctls (e.g.,
> SEV_PDH_GEN) and zero out MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA globally? Would the next VMRUN
> execution for an active VM trigger a general protection fault and crash the
> host?
The SEV firmware docs for SNP_VLEK_LOAD note:
> On SNP_SHUTDOWN, the VLEK is deleted.
That is, the initialization/shutdown wrapper here is pointless, because the
firmware immediately throws away the key anyway. Instead, refuse to do
anything if SNP has not been previously initialized.
Fixes: ceac7fb89e8d ("crypto: ccp - Ensure implicit SEV/SNP init and shutdown in ioctls")
