The comment preceding the shadow_crycb function is
misleading, we effectively accept FORMAT2 CRYCB in the

I beg to differ:

if (!(crycbd_o & vcpu->arch.sie_block->crycbd & CRYCB_FORMAT1))
return 0;

FORMAT2 includes bit FORMAT1 (backwards compatible)

Right, this check is very misleading because of the constant, we
effectively test against Format 0 and Format 2.

Can we make this clearer by explicitly ANDing 0x01 or adding a comment?

yes, done, I modified the comment in front of the function.


Code makes sense:

Thanks,

When using FORMAT2 in the host we do not need to or with
FORMAT1.

That's purely cosmetic but valid.

/* xor both blocks in one run */
b1 = (unsigned long *) vsie_page->crycb.dea_wrapping_key_mask;
