From 1d23040caa8bef867572ae814b5f8b5fa44eccd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Roth Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 16:24:43 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: guest_memfd: Use AS_INACCESSIBLE when creating guest_memfd inode truncate_inode_pages_range() may attempt to zero pages before truncating them, and this will occur before arch-specific invalidations can be triggered via .invalidate_folio/.free_folio hooks via kvm_gmem_aops. For AMD SEV-SNP this would result in an RMP #PF being generated by the hardware, which is currently treated as fatal (and even if specifically allowed for, would not result in anything other than garbage being written to guest pages due to encryption). On Intel TDX this would also result in undesirable behavior. Set the AS_INACCESSIBLE flag to prevent the MM from attempting unexpected accesses of this sort during operations like truncation. This may also in some cases yield a decent performance improvement for guest_memfd userspace implementations that hole-punch ranges immediately after private->shared conversions via KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, since the current implementation of truncate_inode_pages_range() always ends up zero'ing an entire 4K range if it is backing by a 2M folio.
