From: Chao Peng <chao.p.peng@linux.intel.com>

A KVM_MEM_PRIVATE memslot can include both fd-based private memory and
hva-based shared memory. Architecture code (like TDX code) can tell
whether the on-going fault is private or not. This patch adds a
'is_private' field to kvm_page_fault to indicate this and architecture
code is expected to set it.

To handle page fault for such memslot, the handling logic is different
depending on whether the fault is private or shared. KVM checks if
'is_private' matches the host's view of the page (maintained in
mem_attr_array).
  - For a successful match, private pfn is obtained with
    restrictedmem_get_page() and shared pfn is obtained with existing
    get_user_pages().
  - For a failed match, KVM causes a KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT exit to
    userspace. Userspace then can convert memory between private/shared
    in host's view and retry the fault.

In patch 21,
fault->is_private is set as:
	".is_private = kvm_mem_is_private(vcpu->kvm, cr2_or_gpa >> PAGE_SHIFT)",
then, the inequality here means memory attribute has been updated after
last check.
So, why an exit to user space for converting is required instead of a mere retry?

Or, is it because how .is_private is assigned in patch 21 is subjected to change
in future?

This.  Retrying on SNP or TDX would hang the guest.  I suppose we could special
case VMs where .is_private is derived from the memory attributes, but the
SW_PROTECTED_VM type is primary a development vehicle at this point.  I'd like to
have it mimic SNP/TDX as much as possible; performance is a secondary concern.

E.g. userspace needs to be prepared for "spurious" exits due to races on SNP and
TDX, which this can theoretically exercise.  Though the window is quite small so
I doubt that'll actually happen in practice; which of course also makes it less
important to retry instead of exiting.

Is this because if the guest access a page in private way (e.g. via
private key in TDX), the returned page must be a private page?

Ok. But this mimic is somewhat confusing as it may be problematic in below scenario,
though sane guest should ensure no one is accessing a page before doing memory
conversion.


CPU 0                           CPU 1
access GFN A in private way
fault->is_private=true
                                convert GFN A to shared
			        set memory attribute of A to shared

faultin, mismatch and exit
set memory attribute of A
to private

                                vCPU access GFN A in shared way
                                fault->is_private = true
                                faultin, match and map a private PFN B

                                vCPU accesses private PFN B in shared way

So when .is_private is derived from the memory attributes, and if I 
didn't miss
anything, there is no explicit conversion mechanism introduced yet so 
far, does
it mean for pure sw-protected VM (withouth SNP/TDX), the page fault will be
handled according to the memory attributes setup by host/user vmm, no 
implicit
conversion will be triggered, right?

Yes, the returned page must be private, because the GHCI (TDX) and GHCB (SNP)
require that the host allow implicit conversions.  I.e. if the guest accesses
memory as private (or shared), then the host must map memory as private (or shared).
Simply resuming the guest will not change the guest access, nor will it change KVM's
memory attributes.

Ideally (IMO), implicit conversions would be disallowed, but even if implicit
conversions weren't a thing, retrying would still be wrong as KVM would either
inject an exception into the guest or exit to userspace to let userspace handle
the illegal access.

If this is a TDX or SNP VM, then the private vs. shared information comes from
the guest itself, e.g. this sequence

                                   vCPU access GFN A in shared way
                                   fault->is_private = true

cannot happen because is_private will be false based on the error code (SNP) or
the GPA (TDX).

And when hardware doesn't generate page faults based on private vs. shared, i.e.
for non-TDX/SNP VMs, from a fault handling perspective there is no concept of the
guest accessing a GFN in a "private way" or a "shared way".  I.e. there are no
implicit conversions.

For SEV and SEV-ES, the guest can access memory as private vs. shared, but the
and the host VMM absolutely must be in agreement and synchronized with respect to
the state of a page, otherwise guest memory will be corrupted.  But that has
nothing to do with the fault handling, e.g. creating aliases in the guest to access
a single GFN as shared and private from two CPUs will create incoherent cache
entries and/or corrupt data without any involvement from KVM.

In other words, the above isn't possible for TDX/SNP, and for all other types,
the conflict between CPU0 and CPU1 is unequivocally a guest bug.
