Zeroing all of 'vmsa' is an unrelated chagne and belongs in a separate patch. I
would even go so far as to say it's unnecessary, even field of the struct is
explicitly written before it's consumed.

Rather than multiple unlock labels, move the guts of the loop to a wrapper.
As discussed off list, this really should be a vCPU-scoped ioctl, but that ship
has sadly sailed :-( We can at least imitate that by making the VM-scoped ioctl
nothing but a wrapper.

s/be/been

Uber nit, there may not be a next vCPU. It'd be more slightly more accurate to
say something like "Do nothing if this vCPU has already been updated".

This belongs in a separate patch, too. It also introduces a bug (arguably two)
in that it adds a duplicate call to sev_es_sync_vmsa(). The second bug is that
if sev_es_sync_vmsa() fails _and_ the vCPU is already protected, this will cause
that failure to be squashed.

In the end, I think the least gross implementation will look something like this,
implemented over two patches (one for the lock, one for the protected check).

static int __sev_launch_update_vmsa(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
int *error)
{
struct sev_data_launch_update_vmsa vmsa;
struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu);
int ret;

/*
* Do nothing if this vCPU has already been updated. This is allowed
* to let userspace retry LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA if the command fails on a
* later vCPU.
*/
if (svm->vcpu.arch.guest_state_protected)
return 0;

/* Perform some pre-encryption checks against the VMSA */
ret = sev_es_sync_vmsa(svm);
if (ret)
return ret;

/*
* The LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA command will perform in-place
* encryption of the VMSA memory content (i.e it will write
* the same memory region with the guest's key), so invalidate
* it first.
*/
clflush_cache_range(svm->vmsa, PAGE_SIZE);

vmsa.reserved = 0;
vmsa.handle = to_kvm_svm(kvm)->sev_info.handle;
vmsa.address = __sme_pa(svm->vmsa);
vmsa.len = PAGE_SIZE;
return sev_issue_cmd(kvm, SEV_CMD_LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA, &vmsa, error);
}

static int sev_launch_update_vmsa(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_sev_cmd *argp)
{
struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu;
int i, ret;

if (!sev_es_guest(kvm))
return -ENOTTY;

kvm_for_each_vcpu(i, vcpu, kvm) {
ret = mutex_lock_killable(&vcpu->mutex);
if (ret)
return ret;

ret = __sev_launch_update_vmsa(kvm, vcpu, &argp->error);

mutex_unlock(&vcpu->mutex);
if (ret)
return ret;
}
return 0;
}
