Sorry to belatedly throw a wrench in things, but why use a token approach? This
is only intended for migrating between two userspace VMMs using the same KVM
module, which can access both the source and target KVM instances (VMs/guests).
Rather than indirectly communicate through a token, why not communidate directly?
Same idea as svm_vm_copy_asid_from().
The locking needs special consideration, e.g. attempting to take kvm->lock on
both the source and dest could deadlock if userspace is malicious and
double-migrates, but I think a flag and global spinlock to state that migration
is in-progress would suffice.
Locking aside, this would reduce the ABI to a single ioctl(), should avoid most
if not all temporary memory allocations, and would obviate the need for patch 1
since there's no limbo state, i.e. the encrypted regions are either owned by the
source or the dest.
I think the following would work? Another thought would be to make the helpers
and "lock for multi-lock" flag arch-agnostic, e.g. the logic below works iff
this is the only path that takes two kvm->locks simultaneous.
static int svm_sev_lock_for_migration(struct kvm *kvm)
{
struct kvm_sev_info *sev = &to_kvm_svm(kvm)->sev_info;
int ret = 0;
/*
* Bail if this VM is already involved in a migration to avoid deadlock
* between two VMs trying to migrate to/from each other.
*/
spin_lock(&sev_migration_lock);
if (sev->migration_in_progress)
ret = -EINVAL;
else
sev->migration_in_progress = true;
spin_unlock(&sev_migration_lock);
if (!ret)
mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
return ret;
}
static void svm_unlock_after_migration(struct kvm *kvm)

mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
WRITE_ONCE(sev->migration_in_progress, false);
