Indeed. Sorry I missed this.

This would require adding another 'arch_cc_memory_compatible()' to the common
add_memory_resource() (I actually long time ago had such patch to work with the
memremap_pages() you mentioned above).
How about adding a memory_notifier to the TDX code, and reject online of TDX
incompatible memory (something like below)? The benefit is this is TDX code
self contained and won't pollute the common mm code:
+static int tdx_memory_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
+ unsigned long action, void *v)
+{
+ struct memory_notify *mn = v;
+
+ if (action != MEM_GOING_ONLINE)
+ return NOTIFY_OK;
+
+ /*
+ * Not all memory is compatible with TDX. Reject
+ * online of any incompatible memory.
+ */
+ return tdx_cc_memory_compatible(mn->start_pfn,
+ mn->start_pfn + mn->nr_pages) ? NOTIFY_OK : NOTIFY_BAD;
+}
+
+static struct notifier_block tdx_memory_nb = {
+ .notifier_call = tdx_memory_notifier,
+};

I am fine.
Hi Dave, is it OK to include such command line to this initial TDX submission?
