From b18ee21055a77eb1fb6070cb3f819cd3372c466e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hemanth Selam Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:34:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Add a test for KVM_CREATE_VM VM type enforcement KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES advertises the bitmap of VM types that KVM_CREATE_VM accepts, but nothing verified that the ioctl actually enforces it: that every advertised type can be created and every non-advertised type is rejected. sev_init2_tests carried a TODO for this ("check that unsupported types cannot be created. Probably a separate selftest"), but the check is not specific to SEV or KVM_SEV_INIT2, and not even to x86. Add a standalone test that walks the type space and, for each value, asserts that KVM_CREATE_VM succeeds iff the corresponding bit is set in KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES, and otherwise fails with -EINVAL. The walk extends past bit 31 so that out-of-range type values, which can never be advertised in the u32 bitmap, are also confirmed to be rejected. The test only depends on KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES, so it lives in the common set and is skipped on architectures that don't advertise the capability. Drop the now-addressed TODO from sev_init2_tests.c. Tested on an AMD SEV-SNP capable host. With KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES=0x15 (DEFAULT/SEV/SNP), only the advertised types are created and everything else is rejected: $ strace -e trace=ioctl ./vm_types_test 2>&1 | grep KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0) = 4 # DEFAULT ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0x1) = -1 EINVAL # SW_PROTECTED ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0x2) = 4 # SEV ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0x3) = -1 EINVAL # SEV-ES ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0x4) = 4 # SNP ioctl(3, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0x5) = -1 EINVAL # TDX ... 0x6..0x3f all -1 EINVAL ... Reloading kvm_amd with sev_snp=0 drops the bitmap to 0x5 and only types 0 and 2 are then created, confirming the test tracks the advertised set rather than hard-coded types.
