In the case of SEV-SNP, whether or not a 2MB page can be mapped via a 2MB mapping in the guest's nested page table depends on whether or not any subpages within the range have already been initialized as private in the RMP table. The existing mixed-attribute tracking in KVM is insufficient here, for instance: - gmem allocates 2MB page - guest issues PVALIDATE on 2MB page - guest later converts a subpage to shared - SNP host code issues PSMASH to split 2MB RMP mapping to 4K - KVM MMU splits NPT mapping to 4K - guest later converts that shared page back to private At this point there are no mixed attributes, and KVM would normally allow for 2MB NPT mappings again, but this is actually not allowed because the RMP table mappings are 4K and cannot be promoted on the hypervisor side, so the NPT mappings must still be limited to 4K to match this. Implement a kvm_x86_ops.private_max_mapping_level() hook for SEV that checks for this condition and adjusts the mapping level accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
