Though the quirk is disabled by default in KVM in tdx_vm_init() for TDs, the
kvm->arch.disabled_quirks can be overwritten by a userspace specified value in
kvm_vm_ioctl_enable_cap().
"kvm->arch.disabled_quirks = cap->args[0] & kvm_caps.supported_quirks;"

So, when an old userspace tries to disable other quirks on this new KVM, it may
accidentally turn KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT into enabled for TDs, which
would cause SEPT being zapped when (de)attaching non-coherent devices.

Yeah, sorry about that - Xiaoyao also pointed it out and I should have noticed it---or marked the patches as RFC which they were.

Could we force KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT to be disabled for TDs?

e.g.

tdx_vm_init
    kvm->arch.always_disabled_quirks |= KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT;

static inline bool kvm_check_has_quirk(struct kvm *kvm, u64 quirk)
{
         WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm->arch.always_disabled_quirk & kvm_caps.force_enabled_quirks);

         u64 disabled_quirks = kvm->arch.always_disabled_quirk | kvm->arch.disabled_quirks;
         return !(disabled_quirks & quirk) |
                (kvm_caps.force_enabled_quirks & quirk);
}

We can change KVM_ENABLE_CAP(KVM_X86_DISABLE_QUIRKS), as well as QUIRKS2, to use "|=" instead of "=".

While this is technically a change in the API, the current implementation is just awful and I hope that no one is relying on it! This way, the "always_disabled_quirks" are not needed.

If the "|=" idea doesn't work out I agree that kvm->arch.always_disabled_quirk is needed.

Sending v3 shortly...
