Subject: Re: [PATCH V2 06/12] virtio_pci: harden MSI-X interrupts

About "unexpected results", while you mentioned below in v1 ...
"My understanding is that e.g in the case of SEV/TDX we don't trust the
hypervisor. So the hypervisor can keep sending interrupts even if the
device is reset. The guest can only trust its own software interrupt
management logic to avoid call virtio callback in this case."
.. and you also mentioned to avoid the panic (due to untrusted device) in as
many scenarios as possible.
Here is my understanding.
The reason we do not trust hypervisor is to protect (1) data/code privacy for
most of times and sometimes (2) program execution integrity.
The bad thing is: the hypervisor is able to panic/destroy the VM in the worst case.
It is reasonable to re-configure/recover if we assume there is BUG at
hypervisor/device side. That is, the hypervisor/device is buggy, but not malicious.
However, how about to just detect and report the hypervisor/device is malicious
and shutdown/panic the VM immediately? If we have detected the malicious
hypervisor, we should avoid running VMs on the malicious hypervisor further. At
least how about to print error message to reminder users that the hypervisor is
malicious?
About "unexpected results", it should not be hang/panic. I suggest ...
Assuming SEV/TDX is involved, the hypervisor should never be able to derive the
VM privacy (at least secure memory data) by providing malicious configuration,
e.g., num_queues=0. If we detect hypervisor is malicious, the VM is
panic/shutdown immediately. At least how about to print error message to
reminder users.
BTW, while I always do care about the loss of interrupt issue, the malicious
device is able to hang a VM by dropping a single interrupt on purpose for
virtio-scsi :)
Thank you very much!
