Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] kvm: sev: Add SNP guest request throttling
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 22:03:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250515220400.1096945-1-dionnaglaze@google.com> (raw)

The GHCB specification recommends that SNP guest requests should be
rate limited. Add a command to permit the VMM to set the rate limit
on a per-VM scale.

The AMD-SP is a global resource that must be shared across VMs, so
its time should be multiplexed across VMs fairly. It is the
responsibility of the VMM to ensure all SEV-SNP VMs have a rate limit
set such that the collective set of VMs on the machine have a rate of
access that does not exceed the device's capacity.

The sev-guest device already respects the SNP_GUEST_VMM_ERR_BUSY
result code, so utilize that result to cause the guest to retry after
waiting momentarily.

Changes since v4:
  * Fixed build failure caused by rebase.
  * Added ratelimit.h include.
  * Added rate bounds checking to stay within ratelimit types.
Changes since v3:
  * Rebased on master, changed module parameter to mem_enc_ioctl
    command. Changed commit descriptions. Much time has passed.
Changes since v2:
  * Rebased on v7, changed "we" wording to passive voice.
Changes since v1:
  * Added missing Ccs to patches.
