Yikes, you return here and below with interrupts disabled.

All your returns need to be "goto out;" instead where you do

out:
__sev_put_ghcb(&state);
local_irq_restore(flags);

Yap, you very likely need to put the GHCB too.


Sure, let me revisit this code to fix those path.

If you're wondering what to do, yes, you can really stretch that string
and shorten it too:

Okay.


if (WARN((hdr->end_entry > end_entry) || (cur_entry > hdr->cur_entry),
"SEV-SNP: PSC processing going backwards, end_entry %d (got %d) cur_entry: %d (got %d)\n",
end_entry, hdr->end_entry, cur_entry, hdr->cur_entry))
return 1;

so that it fits on a single line and grepping can find it.

Noted.

+ /* Lets verify that reserved bit is not set in the header*/
+ if (WARN(hdr->reserved, "Reserved bit is set in the PSC header\n"))

psc_entry has a ->reserved field too and since we're iterating over the
entries...

Sure I can add that check.


+
+ desc = kmalloc(sizeof(*desc), GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);

kzalloc() so that you don't have to memset() later in
__set_page_state().

Depending on the size, the __set_page_state() can be call multiple times so it should clear the desc memory before filling it.


+ if (!desc)
+ panic("failed to allocate memory");

Make that error message more distinctive so that *if* it happens, one
can pinpoint the place in the code where the panic comes from.


Now I am running checkpatch and notice that it complain about the message too. I can add a BUG() or WARN() to get the stack trace before the crashing.
