Subject: [PATCH 01/12] pseries/plpks: fix error handling in plpks_read_var()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 23:58:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923182816.151451-2-ssrish@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923182816.151451-1-ssrish@linux.ibm.com>

When a PLPKS variable is initialized without a policy and used to read an
object with the PLPKS_WRAPPINGKEY policy set, the hypervisor returns
H_AUTHORITY along with the object's policy. However, plpks_read_var()
currently treats this the same as any other H_AUTHORITY failure and returns
an error without propagating the policy information to the caller.

Distinguish this case from other H_AUTHORITY failures and propagate the
returned policy to the caller while preserving the authorization error.
Remove the explicit assignment of zero to rc on H_SUCCESS, as it is
redundant.

Also validate the PLPKS variable pointer before dereferencing it.

Fixes: 2454a7af0f2a ("powerpc/pseries: define driver for Platform KeyStore")
