Oh, here's the THP code. The subject just changed.

Shouldn't this be a WARN_ON_ONCE()? How can we get RMP faults without
SEV-SNP?

What would this mean? There was an RMP fault on a non-present page?
How could that happen? What if there was a race between an unmapping
event and the RMP fault delivery?

This looks inherently racy. What happens if there are two parallel RMP
faults on the same 2M page. One of them splits the page tables, the
other gets a fault for an already-split page table.

Is that handled here somehow?

The snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable() failure cases looks WARN-worthly.
Either you're doing a lookup for something not *IN* the RMP table, or
you don't support SEV-SNP, in which case you shouldn't be in this code
in the first place.

No "We's", please. Speak in imperative voice.

This can theoretically trigger on a hugetlbfs page. Right?

I thought I asked about this before... more below...

Why not just have handle_user_rmp_page_fault() return a VM_FAULT_* code
directly?

I also suspect you can just set VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and let the do_sigbus()
call later on in the function do its work.

What will this do when you hand it a hugetlbfs page?
