Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 4/5] x86/sev: Remove redundant ghcbs_initialized checks around __sev_{get,put}_ghcb()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 09:31:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929133116.3502913-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929133116.3502913-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 9d8460a1c7a6b0f2dc6302e5d0f31d4e8c2a7913 ]
After
3645eb7e3915 ("x86/fred: Fix early boot failures on SEV-ES/SNP guests"),
__sev_{get,put}_ghcb() handle the early-boot GHCB fallback internally, making
the ghcbs_initialized guards in __set_pages_state() and
svsm_perform_call_protocol() redundant.
Remove them.
Also initialize state->ghcb to NULL in the early-boot path of
__sev_get_ghcb() so that the ghcb_state is well-defined for all callers,
even though __sev_put_ghcb() currently returns early before reading it.
No functional change intended.
