Hi,
In case error case, sev_guest_df_flush() do not set the error.
Can you set the value of error to reflect what error happened
in sev_guest_df_flush()?
The current fix may looks confused when print "DF_FLUSH failed" with
error = 0.
Thanks.

PS: This is just my personal point.

Disclaimer: not my world at all...

Based on the prototype for __sev_do_cmd_locked(), @error is intended to be
filled only if there's an actual response from the PSP, which is a 16-bit
value. So maybe init @psp_ret at the beginning of __sev_do_cmd_locked() to
-1 to indicate the command was never sent to the PSP? And update the
pr_err() in sev_asid_flush() to explicitly state it's the PSP return?

Thanks for your advise. Good point. I will send a new patch.

I think it's a good alternative. Many Thanks.
