Do not allow populating the same page twice with startup data. In the case of SEV-SNP, for example, the firmware does not allow it anyway, since the launch-update operation is only possible on pages that are still shared in the RMP. Even if it worked, kvm_gmem_populate()'s callback is meant to have side effects such as updating launch measurements, and updating the same page twice is unlikely to have the desired results. Races between calls to the ioctl are not possible because kvm_gmem_populate() holds slots_lock and the VM should not be running. But again, even if this worked on other confidential computing technology, it doesn't matter to guest_memfd.c whether this is something fishy such as missing synchronization in userspace, or rather something intentional. One of the racers wins, and the page is initialized by either kvm_gmem_prepare_folio() or kvm_gmem_populate(). Anyway, out of paranoia, adjust sev_gmem_post_populate() anyway to use the same errno that kvm_gmem_populate() is using.

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.
