If you mean this:

        /*
         * Call enc_kexec_stop_conversion() while all CPUs are still active and
         * interrupts are enabled. This will allow all in-flight memory
         * conversions to finish cleanly.
         */
        if (kexec_in_progress)
                x86_platform.guest.enc_kexec_stop_conversion(false);

then no, this is not enough.

I mean this:

/**
 * struct x86_guest - Functions used by misc guest incarnations like SEV, TDX, etc.
 *
 * @enc_status_change_prepare   Notify HV before the encryption status of a range is changed
 * @enc_status_change_finish    Notify HV after the encryption status of a range is changed
 * @enc_tlb_flush_required      Returns true if a TLB flush is needed before changing page encryption status
 * @enc_cache_flush_required    Returns true if a cache flush is needed before changing page encryption status
 * @enc_kexec_begin		Begin the two-step process of stopping
 * 				page conversion... <insert reason why it
 * 				needs to happen this way, blabla>
 * @enc_kexec_finish		...
 */
struct x86_guest {
        int (*enc_status_change_prepare)(unsigned long vaddr, int npages, bool enc);
        int (*enc_status_change_finish)(unsigned long vaddr, int npages, bool enc);
        bool (*enc_tlb_flush_required)(bool enc);
        bool (*enc_cache_flush_required)(void);
        void (*enc_kexec_begin)(bool crash);
        void (*enc_kexec_finish)(void);

And calling them a _begin and _finish makes a lot more sense to me:
_begin starts the kexec process for encrypted guests and _finish
finishes it.

Just from the names you now know what needs to happen and in which
order.

Thx.
