Take MMU lock around tdh_vp_init() in KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU to prevent
meeting contention during retries in some no-fail MMU paths.
The TDX module takes various try-locks internally, which can cause
SEAMCALLs to return an error code when contention is met. Dealing with
an error in some of the MMU paths that make SEAMCALLs is not straight
forward, so KVM takes steps to ensure that these will meet no contention
during a single BUSY error retry. The whole scheme relies on KVM to take
appropriate steps to avoid making any SEAMCALLs that could contend while
the retry is happening.
Unfortunately, there is a case where contention could be met if userspace
does something unusual. Specifically, hole punching a gmem fd while
initializing the TD vCPU. The impact would be triggering a KVM_BUG_ON().
The resource being contended is called the "TDR resource" in TDX docs
parlance. The tdh_vp_init() can take this resource as exclusive if the
'version' passed is 1, which happens to be version the kernel passes. The
various MMU operations (tdh_mem_range_block(), tdh_mem_track() and
tdh_mem_page_remove()) take it as shared.
There isn't a KVM lock that maps conceptually and in a lock order friendly
way to the TDR lock. So to minimize infrastructure, just take MMU lock
around tdh_vp_init(). This makes the operations we care about mutually
exclusive. Since the other operations are under a write mmu_lock, the code
could just take the lock for read, however this is weirdly inverted from
the actual underlying resource being contended. Since this is covering an
edge case that shouldn't be hit in normal usage, be a little less weird
and take the mmu_lock for write around the call.
