I assume this is to replace KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION, which ends up
calling svm_register_enc_region()->sev_pin_memory(), correct?

sev_pin_memory() correctly checks the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and uses
pin_user_pages_fast().

I have to strongly assume that sev_pin_memory() is *wrong* as is because
it's supposed to supply FOLL_LONGTERM -- after all we're pinning these
pages possibly forever.


I might be wrong but

1. You are missing the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK check

2. get_page() is the wong way of long-term pinning a page. You would
have to mimic what pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_LONGTERM) does to eventually
get it right (e.g., migrate the page off of MIGRATE_CMA or ZONE_MOVABLE).
