Here is the text from the spec:

----------

The hypervisor must validate that the guest has supplied enough pages to
hold the certificates that will be returned before performing the SNP
guest request. If there are not enough guest pages to hold the
certificate table and certificate data, the hypervisor will return the
required number of pages needed to hold the certificate table and
certificate data in the RBX register and set the SW_EXITINFO2 field to
0x0000000100000000.

---------

It does not spell it as invalid length. However, for *similar* failure,
the SEV-SNP spec spells out it as INVALID_LENGTH, so, I choose macro
name as INVALID_LENGTH.

thanks
