Interesting... seems like that wouldn't be an issue for non-UPM SEV, since the private pages would still be mapped as part of that 2M mapping, and it's completely up to the guest as to whether it wants to access as private or shared. But for UPM it makes sense this would cause issues. > > Does getting the mapping level as per the fault access type help > address the above issue?

Doesn't seem like changing the check to fault->is_private would help in your particular case, since the subsequent host_pfn_mapping_level() call only seems to limit the mapping level to whatever the mapping level is for the HVA in the host page table. Seems like with UPM we need some additional handling here that also checks that the entire 2M HVA range is backed by non-private memory. Non-UPM SNP hypervisor patches already have a similar hook added to host_pfn_mapping_level() which implements such a check via RMP table, so UPM might need something similar: https://github.com/AMDESE/linux/commit/ae4475bc740eb0b9d031a76412b0117339794139 -Mike > > > > > host_level = host_pfn_mapping_level(kvm, gfn, pfn, slot); > > > > return min(host_level, max_level); > > > > } > > > > > Regards, > Vishal
