What's wrong with:

	while (retry_count < max_retries_per_page) {
		struct tdx_hypercall_args args = {
			.r10 = TDX_HYPERCALL_STANDARD,
			.r11 = TDVMCALL_MAP_GPA,
			.r12 = start,
			.r13 = end - start };

?

Or maybe with the brackets slightly differently arranged.

Why'd you declare all the variables outside the while() loop anyway?
