From c8cc238093ca6c99267032f6cfe78f59389f3157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 13:22:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Use READ_ONCE() when reading entries/indices from PSC buffer Use READ_ONCE() when reading entries/indices from the guest-accessible Page State Change buffer to defend against TOCTOU bugs. Don't bother with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for cases where KVM is writing (and not consuming the result!), as the guest isn't supposed to touch the buffer while it's being processed. I.e. using READ_ONCE() is all about protecting against misbehaving guests.
