At the very least, this nwrite = kernel_write(fp, sev_init_ex_buffer, NV_LENGTH, &offset); vfs_fsync(fp, 0); filp_close(fp, NULL); if (nwrite != NV_LENGTH) { dev_err(sev->dev, "SEV: failed to write %u bytes to non volatile memory area, ret %ld\n", NV_LENGTH, nwrite); return -EIO; } is either too much or too little - if it's serious about reporting errors, it would better check what fsync and close return... Oh, well - unrelated to your patchset, obviously

and fix a memory leak while at it. The new creds are created via prepare_creds() and then reverted via put_cred(revert_creds()). The additional reference count bump from override_creds() wasn't even taken into account before.
