The current update flow continues to later steps after an error. Continuing after a failure can cause the TDX module to enter an unrecoverable state. But certain failures during the initial module shutdown step should simply return an error to userspace, so the update can be retried cleanly. To preserve that recoverability, one option would be to abort the update only for those failures, since they occur before any TDX module state is changed. But special-casing specific failures in specific steps would complicate the do-while() update loop for no benefit. Simply abort update on any failure, at any step. Track failures for each step, stop the update loop once a failure is observed, and do not advance the state machine to the next step.
