I bit unrelated to this patch, but callers of sev_pin_memory() treat
NULL differently:

sev_launch_secret()/svm_register_enc_region() return -ENOMEM
sev_dbg_crypt() returns -EFAULT

Should we switch to ERR_PTR() to preserve the error?

/* Avoid using vmalloc for smaller buffers. */
size = npages * sizeof(struct page *);
if (size > PAGE_SIZE)

Thanks for the review, Vitaly. If anyone is able to do any run-time
testing of this patch and also patch 2/2, then I think a maintainer
would be more willing to pick them up.

Any testing help there is greatly appreciated!


thanks,
