Subject: [PATCH 2/4] selftests/kvm: check that SEV-ES VMs are allowed in SEV-SNP mode
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:28:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223162900.772669-3-tycho@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223162900.772669-1-tycho@kernel.org>
From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@kernel.org>
As in the comment, check to make sure that SEV-ES VMs are allowed before
running the test. Otherwise, there is a generic:
==== Test Assertion Failure ====
lib/x86/sev.c:91: !ret
pid=3678 tid=3678 errno=5 - Input/output error
1 0x0000000000417000: sev_vm_launch at sev.c:91 (discriminator 4)

KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_START failed, rc: -1 errno: 5 (Input/output error)
