This part is a little ugly.  How about doing:

	creds = prepare_creds();
	if (IS_ERR(creds))
		return PTR_ERR(creds);
	req->creds = creds;


I can do that, and same for below.

  }

Similarly:

static int prepare_bprm_creds(struct linux_binprm *bprm)
{
	struct cred *cred;

	if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&current->signal->cred_guard_mutex))
		return -ERESTARTNOINTR;

	cred = prepare_exec_creds();

Why is the NULL check above being kept?


In the branch prior:

	if (flags & CLONE_NEWUSER) {
		nsset->cred = prepare_creds();
	else
		nsset->cred = current_cred();

I don't see cases where others are checking for null after current_cred(), therefore I can remove that check.

Also, drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c needs to be updated.


Nice catch! I clearly missed addition after the merge window.
