Hi Dave,

Its typo, it should be SIGBUS

Shouldn't this be a WARN_ON_ONCE()?  How can we get RMP faults without
SEV-SNP?

Yes, we should *not* get RMP fault if SEV-SNP is not enabled. I can use the WARN_ON_ONCE().



+	/* Get the native page level */
+	pte = lookup_address_in_mm(current->mm, address, &level);
+	if (unlikely(!pte))
+		return RMP_FAULT_KILL;

What would this mean?  There was an RMP fault on a non-present page?
How could that happen?  What if there was a race between an unmapping
event and the RMP fault delivery?

We should not have RMP fault for non-present pages. But you have a good point that there maybe a race between the unmap event and RMP fault. Instead of terminating the process we should simply retry.

+	if (level > PG_LEVEL_4K) {
+		mask = pages_per_hpage(level) - pages_per_hpage(level - 1);
+		pfn |= (address >> PAGE_SHIFT) & mask;
+	}

This looks inherently racy.  What happens if there are two parallel RMP
faults on the same 2M page.  One of them splits the page tables, the
other gets a fault for an already-split page table.

Yes, in this particular case we simply retry and hardware should re-evaluate the page level and take the corrective action.



+	/* Get the page level from the RMP entry. */
+	e = snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable(pfn_to_page(pfn), &rmp_level);
+	if (!e)
+		return RMP_FAULT_KILL;

The snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable() failure cases looks WARN-worthly.
Either you're doing a lookup for something not *IN* the RMP table, or
you don't support SEV-SNP, in which case you shouldn't be in this code
in the first place.

Noted.


+	/*
+	 * Check if the RMP violation is due to the guest private page access.
+	 * We can not resolve this RMP fault, ask to kill the guest.

No "We's", please.  Speak in imperative voice.

Noted.


+	/*
+	 * The backing page level is higher than the RMP page level, request

+	 */
+	if (level > rmp_level)
+		return RMP_FAULT_PAGE_SPLIT;

This can theoretically trigger on a hugetlbfs page.  Right?


Yes, theoretically.

In the current implementation, the VMM is enlightened to not use the hugetlbfs for backing page when creating the SEV-SNP guests.


I thought I asked about this before... more below...

Why not just have handle_user_rmp_page_fault() return a VM_FAULT_* code
directly?


I don't have any strong reason against it. In next rev, I can update to use the VM_FAULT_* code and call the do_sigbus() etc.

I also suspect you can just set VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and let the do_sigbus()
call later on in the function do its work.

What will this do when you hand it a hugetlbfs page?


VMM is updated to not use the hugetlbfs when creating SEV-SNP guests. So, we should not run into it.
