KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY for an SNP guest can race with sev_gmem_post_populate() in bad ways. The following sequence for instance can potentially trigger an RMP fault: thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: called thread B, sev_gmem_prepare: places below 'pfn' in a private state in RMP thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: *vaddr = kmap_local_pfn(pfn + i); thread A, sev_gmem_post_populate: copy_from_user(vaddr, src + i * PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE); RMP #PF Fix this by only allowing KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY to run after a guest's initial private memory contents have been finalized via KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH. Beyond fixing this issue, it just sort of makes sense to enforce this, since the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY documentation states: "KVM maps memory as if the vCPU generated a stage-2 read page fault" which sort of implies we should be acting on the same guest state that a vCPU would see post-launch after the initial guest memory is all set up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
