If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sean Christopherson commit 624bf3440d7214b62c22d698a0a294323f331d5d upstream. Reject LAUNCH_FINISH for SEV-ES and SNP VMs if KVM is actively creating one or more vCPUs, as KVM needs to process and encrypt each vCPU's VMSA. Letting userspace create vCPUs while LAUNCH_FINISH is in-progress is "fine", at least in the current code base, as kvm_for_each_vcpu() operates on online_vcpus, LAUNCH_FINISH (all SEV+ sub-ioctls) holds kvm->mutex, and fully onlining a vCPU in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() is done under kvm->mutex. I.e. there's no difference between an in-progress vCPU and a vCPU that is created entirely after LAUNCH_FINISH. However, given that concurrent LAUNCH_FINISH and vCPU creation can't possibly work (for any reasonable definition of "work"), since userspace can't guarantee whether a particular vCPU will be encrypted or not, disallow the combination as a hardening measure, to reduce the probability of introducing bugs in the future, and to avoid having to reason about the safety of future changes related to LAUNCH_FINISH.
