Would the next VMRUN\n> execution for an active VM trigger a general protection fault and crash the\n> host?\n\nThe SEV firmware docs for SNP_VLEK_LOAD note:\n\n> On SNP_SHUTDOWN, the VLEK is deleted.\n\nThat is, the initialization/shutdown wrapper here is pointless, because the\nfirmware immediately throws away the key anyway. Instead, refuse to do\nanything if SNP has not been previously initialized.\n\nThis is an ABI break: before, this was a no-op and almost certainly a\nmistake by userspace, and now it returns -ENODEV. ABI compatibility could be\nmaintained here by simply returning 0 in the check instead."
