Should way say what it will be set to? Also Sean pointed out on CCP
driver that 0 is strange to set the error to, its a uint so we cannot
do -1 like we did there. What about all FFs?


Sure, all FF's works, I can document and use it.

I may be overly paranoid here but how about
`lockdep_assert_held(&snp_cmd_mutex);` when writing or reading
directly from this data?


Sure, I can do it.

...

+       rc = verify_and_dec_payload(snp_dev, resp_buf, resp_sz);

+                */

This looks great, thanks for changes Brijesh. Should we mention in
comment here or at snp_disable_vmpck() the AES-GCM issues with
continuing to use the key? Or will future updaters to this code
understand already?


Sure, I can add comment about the AES-GCM.

...

+/* See SNP spec SNP_GUEST_REQUEST section for the structure */
+enum msg_type {
+       SNP_MSG_TYPE_INVALID = 0,
+       SNP_MSG_CPUID_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_CPUID_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_KEY_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_KEY_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_REPORT_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_REPORT_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_EXPORT_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_EXPORT_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_IMPORT_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_IMPORT_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_ABSORB_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_ABSORB_RSP,
+       SNP_MSG_VMRK_REQ,
+       SNP_MSG_VMRK_RSP,

Did you want to include MSG_ABSORB_NOMA_REQ and MSG_ABSORB_NOMA_RESP here?


Yes, I can includes those for the completeness.

...

+struct snp_report_req {
+       /* message version number (must be non-zero) */
+       __u8 msg_version;
+
+       /* user data that should be included in the report */
+       __u8 user_data[64];

Are we missing the 'vmpl' field here? Does those default all requests
to be signed with VMPL0? Users might want to change that, they could
be using a paravisor.


Good question, so far I was thinking that guest kernel will provide its vmpl level instead of accepted the vmpl level from the userspace. Do you see a need for a userspace to provide this information ?


thanks
