mostly nits, but since you will be sending it again...

here you accessing desc->tail again so maybe we can use:

	u32 raw __maybe_unused;

	raw = READ_ONCE(desc->tail);
	if (unlikely(raw != tail)) ...
		CT_ERROR(..., raw, tail);

> +		desc->status |= GUC_CTB_STATUS_MISMATCH;

above you are reading value from desc using READ_ONCE, could be

	raw = READ_ONCE(desc->head);
	if (unlikely(raw >= size)) ...
		CT_ERROR(..., raw, size);

> +		CT_ERROR(ct, "Invalid offsets head=%u (size=%u)\n",

"Invalid head offset %u > %u\n" ?

maybe keep ctb updates together?

+	/* update local copies */
+	ctb->tail = tail;
+	ctb->space -= len + GUC_CTB_HDR_LEN;
+
  	/* now update descriptor */
 	WRITE_ONCE(desc->tail, tail);

keep

so above references to desc will be simpler

it looks that we update space only for send/H2G ctb but maybe we should
also track free space in recv/G2H ctb ? then we can report different
stress conditions if space is less than 25% of size or so (someday)
