By default (due to the recent UPM change), restricted memory attribute is

slot creation time.

add kvm region registering function to check the flag
and convert the region, and add memory listener to TDX guest code to set
the flag to the possible memory region.

Without this patch
- Secure-EPT violation on private area
- KVM_MEMORY_FAULT EXIT (kvm -> qemu)
- qemu converts the 4K page from shared to private
- Resume VCPU execution
- Secure-EPT violation again
- KVM resolves EPT Violation
This also prevents huge page because page conversion is done at 4K
granularity.  Although it's possible to merge 4K private mapping into
2M large page, it slows guest boot.

With this patch
- After memory slot creation, convert the region from private to shared
- Secure-EPT violation on private area.
- KVM resolves EPT Violation

That looks fishy. Why is TDX to decide what happens to other memory regions it doesn't own?

We should define that behavior when creating these memory region, and TDX could sanity check that they have been setup properly.

Let me ask differently: For which memory region where we have RAM_GUEST_MEMFD set would we *not* want to set private as default right from the start?

All memory regions have RAM_GUEST_MEMFD set will benefit from being private as default, for TDX guest.

I will update the implementation to set RAM_DEFAULT_PRIVATE flag when guest_memfd is created successfully, like

diff --git a/system/physmem.c b/system/physmem.c

then this patch can be dropped, and the calling of memory_region_set_default_private(mr) of Patch 45 can be dropped too.

I think this is what you suggested, right?
