Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86/sev: Document requirement for linear mapping of Guest Request buffers
Date: Tue, 6 May 2025 00:12:37 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505141238.4179623-4-aik@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250505141238.4179623-1-aik@amd.com>

The Guest Request supports 3 types of messages now, the largest is
the extended variant of MSG_REPORT_REQ: sizeof(snp_ext_report_req)==112.
These used to be allocated on stack and then moved to the SNP guest
platform device (snp_guest_dev) for the reason explained in

commit db10cb9b5746 ("virt: sevguest: Fix passing a stack buffer as
a scatterlist target"):

aesgcm_encrypt() and aesgcm_decrypt() are used for guest messages and
might potentially use a crypto accelerator which requires DMA buffers
to be in the linear mapping.

Add a comment, pr_warn() and return -EINVAL when the buffers are not
in linear mapping.
