SEV-SNP VMs can ask the hypervisor to change the page state in the RMP
table to be private or shared using the Page State Change MSR protocol
as defined in the GHCB specification.

When using gmem, private/shared memory is allocated through separate
pools, and KVM relies on userspace issuing a KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
KVM ioctl to tell the KVM MMU whether or not a particular GFN should be
backed by private memory or not.

Forward these page state change requests to userspace so that it can
issue the expected KVM ioctls. The KVM MMU will handle updating the RMP
entries when it is ready to map a private page into a guest.

Use the existing KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercall format to deliver these
requests to userspace via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL.

Do we have definition of ret? I didn't find clear documentation about it.
According to the code, 0 means succssful. Is there any other error codes
need to or can be interpreted?
They are defined in include/uapi/linux/kvm_para.h

#define KVM_ENOSYS 1000
#define KVM_EFAULT EFAULT /* 14 */
#define KVM_EINVAL EINVAL /* 22 */
#define KVM_E2BIG E2BIG /* 7 */
#define KVM_EPERM EPERM /* 1*/
#define KVM_EOPNOTSUPP 95

Linux however does not expect the hypercall to fail for SEV/SEV-ES; and
it will terminate the guest if the PSC operation fails for SEV-SNP. So
it's best for userspace if the hypercall always succeeds. :)
Thanks for the info.

For TDX, it wants to restrict the size of memory range for conversion in one hypercall to avoid a too long latency.
Previously, in TDX QEMU patchset v5, the limitation is in userspace and  if the size is too big, the status_code will set to TDG_VP_VMCALL_RETRY and the failed GPA for guest to retry is updated.

When TDX converts TDVMCALL_MAP_GPA to KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE, do you think which is more reasonable to set the restriction? In KVM (TDX specific code) or userspace?
If userspace is preferred, then the interface needs to  be extended to support it.



For TDX, it may also want to use KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercall to
userspace via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL.
Yes, definitely.
