FWIW, I think a better generalisation for this would be allowing
set_memory_decrypted() to return an address rather than implicitly
operating in-place, and hide all the various hypervisor hooks behind that.

Yes, something like that would be a good idea.  As-is
set_memory_decrypted is a pretty horribly API anyway due to passing
the address as void, and taking a size parameter while it works in units
of pages.  So I'd very much welcome a major overhaul of this API.


Hi Christoph and Robin:
Thanks for your suggestion. I will try this idea in the next version. Besides make the address translation into set_memory_ decrypted() and return address, do you want to make other changes to the API in order to make it more reasonable(e.g size parameter)?

Thanks
