Subject: [PATCH v9 085/105] KVM: TDX: Retry seamcall when TDX_OPERAND_BUSY with operand SEPT
From: Yuan Yao <yuan.yao@...el.com>
TDX module internally uses locks to protect internal resources. It tries
to acquire the locks. If it fails to obtain the lock, it returns
TDX_OPERAND_BUSY error without spin because its execution time limitation.
TDX SEAMCALL API reference describes what resources are used. It's known
which TDX SEAMCALL can cause contention with which resources. VMM can
avoid contention inside the TDX module by avoiding contentious TDX SEAMCALL
with, for example, spinlock. Because OS knows better its process
scheduling and its scalability, a lock at OS/VMM layer would work better
than simply retrying TDX SEAMCALLs.
TDH.MEM.* API except for TDH.MEM.TRACK operates on a secure EPT tree and
the TDX module internally tries to acquire the lock of the secure EPT tree.
They return TDX_OPERAND_BUSY | TDX_OPERAND_ID_SEPT in case of failure to
get the lock. TDX KVM uses kvm_tdx::seamcall_lock spinlock at OS/VMM layer
to avoid contention inside the TDX module.
TDH.VP.ENTER is an exception with zero-step attack mitigation. Normally
TDH.VP.ENTER uses only TD vcpu resources and it doesn't cause contention.
When a zero-step attack is suspected, it obtains a secure EPT tree lock and
tracks the GPAs causing a secure EPT fault. Thus TDG.VP.ENTER may result
in TDX_OPERAND_BUSY | TDX_OPERAND_ID_SEPT. Also TDH.MEM.* SEAMCALLs may
result in TDX_OPERAN_BUSY | TDX_OPERAND_ID_SEPT because TDH.VP.ENTER is not
protected with seamcall_lock.
Retry TDX TDH.MEM.* API and TDH.VP.ENTER on the error because the error is
a rare event caused by zero-step attack mitigation and spinlock can not be
used for TDH.VP.ENTER due to indefinite time execution.
