likely suspect a guest issue.

Based on previous feedback and to implement the changes to the GHCB specification, I'm planning on submitting a patch that will return an error code back to the guest, instead of terminating the guest, if the scratch area fails to be setup properly. So you could hold off on this patch if you want.

I think we still want these two patches in 5.16.

Ok, I'll rebase my changes on top of these then once you push them.

Thanks,
Tom
