[PATCH 03/13] x86/coco/sev: add snp_unaccept_memory()

From: Kevin Loughlin

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 23:01:49 EST


Add snp_unaccept_memory() and wire it up to arch_unaccept_memory() and
arch_has_unaccept_memory() on AMD SEV-SNP guests.

When memory ranges are dynamically unaccepted (such as during
virtio-balloon inflation or free page reporting), snp_unaccept_memory()
invokes set_pages_state(..., SNP_PAGE_STATE_SHARED). This call rescinds
guest RMP validation via PVALIDATE(..., validate=false), handling 2MB
PMD pages with automatic fallback to 4KB pages on RMP size mismatch.
snp_unaccept_memory() -> set_pages_state() also issues a GHCB Page State
Change request so the hypervisor transitions the range from private to
shared symmetrically with snp_accept_memory().
