I really meant putting the beginning of that string at the very first

Exactly like this!

And again, from previous review:

kzalloc() so that you don't have to memset() later in
__set_page_state().


I replied to your previous comment. Depending on the npages value, the __set_page_state() will be called multiple times and on each call it needs to clear desc before populate it. So, I do not see strong reason to use kzalloc() during the desc allocation. I thought you were okay with that explanation.


+	if (!desc)
+		panic("SEV-SNP: failed to alloc memory for PSC descriptor\n");

"allocate" fits just fine too.


Noted.
