Hello. I've updated the patch series following Michael suggestion.
Here are the discussion points.

- 4/6 KVM: x86: Introduce fault type to indicate kvm page fault is private
The moot point is where to put the logic to determine the fault is private.
- The caller site of kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() (or kvm_mmu_page_fault()).
The v1 patch approach.
- npf_interception()
- handle_ept_violation(), handle_ept_misconfig() and TDX counter part.
- Open code in kvm_get_fault_type()

- 5/6 KVM: Add flags to struct kvm_gfn_range
I think this patch doesn't interfere the SNP case because it passes more
info to the callback.

- 6/6 KVM: x86: Add is_vm_type_supported callback
Let's introduce KVM_X86_TDX_VM for TDX. And revise KVM_X86_PROTECTED_VM.
I won't address the name in this patch series.

Thanks,


Hello. This is an RFC patch series based on KVM gmem [1] and [2]
for the common use of TDX and SEV-SNP. I'd like to discuss three items.

* Flags for kvm_gfn_range:
Roth, By adding flags to kvm_gfn_range, kvm_arch_gmem_invalidate() won't be
needed. Maybe x86 gmem_invalidate callback is still needed, though.

* Page fault error code or how to figure out the private page fault
There is an issue to set kvm_page_fault.is_private. I came up with two new
error codes. Is this a way or any other way?

* VM type: Now we have KVM_X86_PROTECTED_VM. How do we proceed?
- Keep KVM_X86_PROTECTED_VM for its use. Introduce KVM_X86_TDX_VM
- Use KVM_X86_PROTECTED_VM for TDX. (If necessary, introduce another type in
the future)
- any other way?
