Subject: RE: [PATCH Part2 v6 09/49] x86/fault: Add support to handle the RMP
 fault for user address

[AMD Official Use Only - General]

Hello Boris,

Actually SNP feature can be enabled globally, but SNP is activated on a per VM basis.

>From the APM:
The term SNP-enabled indicates that SEV-SNP is globally enabled in the SYSCFG 
MSR. The term SNP-active indicates that SEV-SNP is enabled for a specific VM in the 
SEV_FEATURES field of its VMSA

Ok.

Yes, if the page gets unmapped while the RMP fault was being handled,
will add more explanation here.

Actually, the above computes an index into the RMP table. It is basically an index into
the 4K page within the hugepage mapped in the RMP table or in other words an index
into the RMP table entry for 4K page(s) corresponding to a hugepage.

So, pud_index()/pmd_index() can't be used for the same.

It is mainly a wrapper around__split_huge_pmd() for SNP use case
where the host hugepage is split to be in sync with the RMP table.
