From: Ackerley Tng <redacted> Update tdx_gmem_post_populate() to handle cases where userspace requests "no source page". To handle "no source page", populate (perform TDH.MEM.PAGE.ADD) using memory in-place at the target PFN. Allow "no source page" only when gmem_in_place_conversion is enabled, because retroactively adding support for out-of-place conversion would mean requiring a userspace update for a feature that's being deprecated. Also, KVM supporting "no source page" without in-place conversion would effectively be an obscure zero-page optimization that relies on the page being zeroed when it is allocated by guest_memfd. Rejecting "no source page" without in-place conversion scenario is valuable for KVM developers since it helps newcomers understand what exactly is and isn't possible.
