Yan Zhao eac0b72fae KVM: TDX: Handle SEPT zap error due to page add error in premap
Move the handling of SEPT zap errors caused by unsuccessful execution of
tdh_mem_page_add() in KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION from
tdx_sept_drop_private_spte() to tdx_sept_zap_private_spte(). Introduce a
new helper function tdx_is_sept_zap_err_due_to_premap() to detect this
specific error.

During the IOCTL KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION, KVM premaps leaf SPTEs in the
mirror page table before the corresponding entry in the private page table
is successfully installed by tdh_mem_page_add(). If an error occurs during
the invocation of tdh_mem_page_add(), a mismatch between the mirror and
private page tables results in SEAMCALLs for SEPT zap returning the error
code TDX_EPT_ENTRY_STATE_INCORRECT.

The error TDX_EPT_WALK_FAILED is not possible because, during
KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION, KVM only premaps leaf SPTEs after successfully
mapping non-leaf SPTEs. Unlike leaf SPTEs, there is no mismatch in non-leaf
PTEs between the mirror and private page tables. Therefore, during zap,
SEAMCALLs should find an empty leaf entry in the private EPT, leading to
the error TDX_EPT_ENTRY_STATE_INCORRECT instead of TDX_EPT_WALK_FAILED.

Since tdh_mem_range_block() is always invoked before tdh_mem_page_remove(),
move the handling of SEPT zap errors from tdx_sept_drop_private_spte() to
tdx_sept_zap_private_spte(). In tdx_sept_zap_private_spte(), return 0 for
errors due to premap to skip executing other SEAMCALLs for zap, which are
unnecessary. Return 1 to indicate no other errors, allowing the execution
of other zap SEAMCALLs to continue.

The failure of tdh_mem_page_add() is uncommon and has not been observed in
real workloads. Currently, this failure is only hypothetically triggered by
skipping the real SEAMCALL and faking the add error in the SEAMCALL
wrapper. Additionally, without this fix, there will be no host crashes or
other severe issues.

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.
