Subject: [PATCH] vmgenid: Remap memory as decrypted
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2025 15:46:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251222144646.1426256-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
It was found that AWS SEV-SNP enabled instances are not able to boot with
commit 81256a50aa0f ("x86/mm: Make memremap(MEMREMAP_WB) map memory as
encrypted by default") applied and the reason seems to be the vmgenid
device which requires unencrypted writeable memory.
A similar problem was previously fixed in DRM with commit
7dfede7d7edd ("drm/vmwgfx: Fix guests running with TDX/SEV").
Note, trusting vmgenid device in a Confidential VM is questionable: the
malicious host may intentionally avoid notifying the guest when a copy is
created.
Fixes: 81256a50aa0f ("x86/mm: Make memremap(MEMREMAP_WB) map memory as encrypted by default")
