Disallow copying MTE tags to guest memory while KVM is dirty logging, as
writing guest memory without marking the gfn as dirty in the memslot could
result in userspace failing to migrate the updated page.  Ideally (maybe?),
KVM would simply mark the gfn as dirty, but there is no vCPU to work with,
and presumably the only use case for copy MTE tags _to_ the guest is when
restoring state on the target.

is this equivalent to kvm_follow_pfn() with kfp->pin = 1 ? Should all
those pin request fail if kvm->nr_memslots_dirty_logging != 0?

No, gfn_to_pfn_prot() == FOLL_GET, kfp->pin == FOLL_PIN.  But that's not really
relevant.

No, the conflict with dirty logging is specifically that this code doesn't invoke
mark_page_dirty().  And it can't easily do that, because there's no loaded ("running")
vCPU, i.e. doing so would trip this WARN:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu && vcpu->kvm != kvm))
		return;

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!vcpu && !kvm_arch_allow_write_without_running_vcpu(kvm)); <====
#endif

What I meant was, should we consider mte_copy_tags_from_user() as one
that update the page contents (even though it is updating tags) and
use kvm_follow_pfn() with kfp->pin = 1 instead?

Is my understanding correct in that, if we want to look up a pfn/page
from gfn with the intent of updating the page contents, we should use
kfp->pin == 1?

Yes, that's my understanding as well.  However, this series is already ludicruosly
long, and I don't have the ability to test the affected code, so rather than blindly
churn more arch code, I opted to add a FIXME in patch 76 instead.

There are ways to actually log the page dirtying but I don't think
it's worth it. AFAICT, reading the tags still works and that's what's
used during migration (on the VM where dirty tracking takes place).

Looks sensible to me - my initial thought was "why would a VMM do
that?". But it would make sense to actually return a failure rather than
letting the VMM shoot itself in the foot.

If there's actually a use-case then we could look at making the dirty
tracking work, but I'm not convinced there is a good reason.
