Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 07/26] crypto: ccp: use scoped_with_init_fs() for SEV file access
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 22:43:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-7-3dd2cbe92ad0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-0-3dd2cbe92ad0@kernel.org>

Replace the manual init_task root retrieval with scoped_with_init_fs()
to temporarily override current->fs. This allows using the simpler
filp_open() instead of the init_root() + file_open_root() pattern.

open_file_as_root() ← sev_read_init_ex_file() / sev_write_init_ex_file()
← sev_platform_init() ← __sev_guest_init() ← KVM ioctl — user process context

Needs init's root because the SEV init_ex file path should resolve
against the real root, not a KVM user's chroot.
