Hi:
The word "leaking" sounds like a situation left unhandled temporarily.
I checked the source code of the TDX module[1] for the possible reason to
fail when reviewing this patch:
tdx-module-v1.0.01.01.zip\src\vmm_dispatcher\api_calls\tdh_phymem_page_reclaim.c
tdx-module-v1.0.01.01.zip\src\vmm_dispatcher\api_calls\tdh_phymem_page_wbinvd.c
a. Invalid parameters. For example, page is not aligned, PA HKID is not zero...
For invalid parameters, a WARN_ON_ONCE() + return value is good enough as
that is how kernel handles similar situations. The caller takes the
responsibility.
b. Locks has been taken in TDX module. TDR page has been locked due to another
SEAMCALL, another SEAMCALL is doing PAMT walk and holding PAMT lock...
This needs to be improved later either by retry or taking tdx_lock to avoid
TDX module fails on this.
