Instead, we should use fault->is_private to determine: if (fault->is_private && kvm_x86_ops::xx_private_spt()) kvm_x86_ops::xx_private_spte(); else // normal TDP MMU operation The reason is this pattern works not just for TDX, but also for SNP (and SW_PROTECTED_VM) if they ever need specific page table ops. Whether we are operating on the mirrored page table or not doesn't matter, because we have already selected the root page table at the beginning of kvm_tdp_mmu_map() based on whether the VM needs to use mirrored pt for private mapping: bool mirrored_pt = fault->is_private && kvm_use_mirrored_pt(kvm); tdp_mmu_for_each_pte(iter, mmu, mirrored_pt, raw_gfn, raw_gfn + 1) { ... } #define tdp_mmu_for_each_pte(_iter, _mmu, _mirrored_pt, _start, _end) \ for_each_tdp_pte(_iter, \ root_to_sp((_mirrored_pt) ? _mmu->private_root_hpa : \ _mmu->root.hpa), \ _start, _end) If you somehow needs the mirrored_pt in later time when handling the page fault, you don't need another "mirrored_pt" in tdp_iter, because you can easily get it from the sptep (or just get from the root): mirrored_pt = sptep_to_sp(sptep)->role.mirrored_pt; What we really need to pass in is the fault->is_private, because we are not able to get whether a GPN is private based on kvm_shared_gfn_mask() for SNP and SW_PROTECTED_VM. Since the current KVM code only mainly passes the @kvm and the @iter for many TDP MMU functions like tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic(), the easiest way to convery the fault->is_private is to add a new 'is_private' (or even better, 'is_private_gpa' to be more precisely) to tdp_iter. Otherwise, we either need to explicitly pass the entire @fault (which might not be a, or @is_private_gpa. Or perhaps I am missing anything?
