Tom, Thanks for the comments. In V8 patch, I've refined the commit message and added comments in the code around the areas being changed to explain this code change.

This last paragraph is a bit confusing to read, please rewrite it so it is easier to understand. > > Signed-off-by: Dun Tan <dun....@intel.com> > Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+tianoc...@kernel.org> > Cc: Jiewen Yao <jiewen....@intel.com> > Cc: Jordan Justen <jordan.l.jus...@intel.com> > Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kra...@redhat.com> > Cc: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lenda...@amd.com> > Reviewed-by: Ray Ni <ray...@intel.com> I think it would be best to include comments in the code around the areas being changed explaining why the the encryption mask is not being set for non-leaf entries because of the way CpuPageTableLib works.
