Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] pseries/plpks: fix error handling in plpks_read_var()
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:52:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111165210.3351833-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111165210.3351833-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Srish Srinivasan <ssrish@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit d52a1659cb1718f93166ab8dd8621237e564a1c4 ]

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.
