Subject: [RFC v1 0/6] Implement SNP DOWNLOAD_FIRMWARE_EX support
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:07:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430160716.1120553-1-tycho@kernel.org> (raw)

From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@kernel.org>

Here is an implementation of the SEV-SNP firmware's DOWNLOAD_FIRMWARE_EX
command. The core difference between this and the previous implementation
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241112232253.3379178-7-dionnaglaze@google.com/
is that it relies on the SEV firmware's state (WORKING) to indicate that there
are legacy VMs running instead of tracking things explicitly via ASID.

There is a race condition in slide 18 of
https://pretalx.com/media/kvm-forum-2025/submissions/TAMRR8/resources/SEV_FW_Hotl_zfT5e9Y.pdf
which this series does not address, I am still trying to understand what the
best way to fix that is.

Also note that patch 1 is a duplicate of
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260416232329.3408497-2-seanjc@google.com/
so it can be dropped when that is applied.

Thanks,

Tycho
