Hi James,

Given nothing to do later, I'd just return at end of each case.
Entirely up to you though as this is just a personal style preference.

	guard(srcu)(&mpam_srcu);

Then you can do direct returns on errors which looks like it will simplify
things somewhat by letting you just return on err.

I'd bring the declaration down here as well.
		struct mpam_msc *msc = vmsc->msc;
Could bring ris down here as well.

This won't be needed if you returned on error above.

And you only reach here with above changes if err == 0 so return 0; appropriate.

Either use = { }; at declaration or maybe
	arg = (struct mon_read) {
		.ctx = ctx,
		.type = type,
		.val = val,
	};

rather than bothering with separate memset.
