After SEV INIT_EX support patches, SEV may be initialized in the platform late.
In my tests, if SEV has not been initialized in the platform yet, SNP
VMs fail with SEV_DF_FLUSH required error. I tried calling
SEV_DF_FLUSH right after the SNP platform init but this time it failed
later on the SNP launch update command with SEV_RET_INVALID_PARAM
error. Looks like there is another dependency on SEV platform
initialization.

Calling sev_platform_init for SNP VMs fixes the problem in our tests.
Trying to get some more context for this issue.

When you say after SEV_INIT_EX support patches, SEV may be initialized
in the platform late, do you mean sev_pci_init()->sev_snp_init() ...
sev_platform_init() code path has still not executed on the host BSP ?

Correct, INIT_EX requires the file system to be ready and there is a
ccp module param to call it only when needed.

MODULE_PARM_DESC(psp_init_on_probe, " if true, the PSP will be
initialized on module init. Else the PSP will be initialized on the
first command requiring it");

If this module param is false, it won't initialize SEV on the platform
until the first SEV VM.

Ok, that makes sense.

So the fix will be to call sev_platform_init() unconditionally here in sev_guest_init(), and both sev_snp_init() and sev_platform_init() are protected from being called again, so there won't be any issues if these functions are invoked again at SNP/SEV VM launch if they have been invoked earlier during module init.

Thanks, Ashish
