I'm not sure I understand the question. 'err' is just the page fault flags,
and arch.mmu_private_fault_mask is something that can be set on a
per-platform basis when running in a mode where shared/private access
is recorded in the page fault flags during a #NPF.

I'm not sure how we'd keep the handling cross-platform by moving to a macro,
since TDX uses a different bit, and we'd want to be able to build a
SNP+TDX kernel that could run on either type of hardware.

Are you suggesting to reverse that and have err be set in a platform-specific
way and then use a common PFERR_PRIVATE_MASK that's software-defined and
consistent across platforms? That could work, but existing handling seems
to use page fault flags as-is, keeping the hardware-set values, rather than
modifying them to pass additional metadata, so it seems like it might
make things more confusing to make an exception to that here. Or are
there other cases where it's done that way?

The intention was to rely on fault->mmu_seq to determine if a
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES update came in after .private_fault was set so
that fault handling could be retried, but that doesn't happen until
kvm_faultin_pfn() which is *after* this is logged. So yes, I think there
is a race here, and the approach you took in your Misc. series of
keeping the kvm_mem_is_private() check inside kvm_faultin_pfn() is more
efficient/correct.

If we can figure out a way to handle checking the fault flags in a way
that works for both TDX/SNP (and KVM self-test use-case) we can
consolidate around that.
