Subject: [RFC 10/12] x86/pconfig: Program memory encryption keys on a
system-wide basis

The kernel manages the MKTME (Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption) Keys as a
system wide single pool of keys. The hardware, however, manages the keys on a
per physical package basis. Each physical package maintains a key table that all
CPU's in that package share.

In order to maintain the consistent, system wide view that the kernel requires,
program all physical packages during a key program request.

What is the value of 'mktme_cpumask'? Does it only contain one core for each package? 

Since we are using 'on_each_cpu_mask', I think  we should make sure only one core is set for each node in 'mktme_cpumask'. Otherwise we have to deal with 'DEVICE_BUSY' case, since if one core is already in middle of PCONFIG, the other PCONFIGs on the same node would get 'DEVICE_BUSY' error, but this doesn't mean PCONFIG has failed on that node.

Thanks,
