KVM: TDX: Kick off vCPUs when SEAMCALL is busy during TD page removal
Kick off all vCPUs and prevent tdh_vp_enter() from executing whenever tdh_mem_range_block()/tdh_mem_track()/tdh_mem_page_remove() encounters contention, since the page removal path does not expect error and is less sensitive to the performance penalty caused by kicking off vCPUs. Although KVM has protected SEPT zap-related SEAMCALLs with kvm->mmu_lock, KVM may still encounter TDX_OPERAND_BUSY due to the contention in the TDX module. - tdh_mem_track() may contend with tdh_vp_enter(). - tdh_mem_range_block()/tdh_mem_page_remove() may contend with tdh_vp_enter() and TDCALLs. Resources SHARED users EXCLUSIVE users ------------------------------------------------------------ TDCS epoch tdh_vp_enter tdh_mem_track ------------------------------------------------------------ SEPT tree tdh_mem_page_remove tdh_vp_enter (0-step mitigation) tdh_mem_range_block ------------------------------------------------------------ SEPT entry tdh_mem_range_block (Host lock) tdh_mem_page_remove (Host lock) tdg_mem_page_accept (Guest lock) tdg_mem_page_attr_rd (Guest lock) tdg_mem_page_attr_wr (Guest lock) Use a TDX specific per-VM flag wait_for_sept_zap along with KVM_REQ_OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE to kick off vCPUs and prevent them from entering TD, thereby avoiding the potential contention. Apply the kick-off and no vCPU entering only after each SEAMCALL busy error to minimize the window of no TD entry, as the contention due to 0-step mitigation or TDCALLs is expected to be rare.
