virtio_ring does not work with active memory encryption because the host cannot

Sorry, no.
host which can not access all of driver memory must set
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM.
Not worth it to work around broken hosts.
Xen is an exception we carry around since it predates the
introduction of VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM.
Thanks for pointing out VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM which I was not aware of.
Maybe that patch was a bit naïve.
Basically I'm looking for a way to use vsock with qemu on AMD SEV. When I try
to use IOMMU for vsock I get an EOPNOTSUPP out of vhost_vsock_set_features.
Is there a reason why vhost_vsock_set_features doesn't use
vhost_init_device_iotlb as done in the net device?
It's just because it has been implemented. In addition to implement
IOTLB, the virtio-vsock-pci must advertise ATS capability as well.
Because that would have been my next attempt.
I would appreciate a short comment on this idea or a recommendation for another
solution that is better than the patch below.
A question, is vIOMMU a must for making SEV work?
Thanks
