Noted.
Maybe I am missing something, I am not able to follow 'guest won't be able
to convert a 2mb chunk back to a 2mb large page'. The page-size used inside
the guest have to relationship with the RMP/NPT page-size. e.g, a guest can
validate the page range as a 4k and still map the page range as a 2mb or 1gb
in its pagetable.
The proposed code walks KVM's TDP and adjusts the RMP level to be the min of the
guest+host levels. Once KVM has installed a 4kb TDP SPTE, that walk will find
the 4kb TDP SPTE and thus operate on the RMP at a 4kb granularity. To allow full
restoration of 2mb PTE+SPTE+RMP, KVM needs to zap the 4kb SPTE(s) at some point
to allow rebuilding a 2mb SPTE.
Ah I see. In that case, SNP firmware provides a command
"SNP_PAGE_UNMASH" that can be used by the hypervisor to combines the
multiple 4k entry into a single 2mb without affecting the validation.
