On shutdown, each CCP device instance performs shutdown processing. However, __sev_platform_shutdown_locked() uses the controlling psp structure to obtain the pointer to the sev_device structure. However, during driver initialization, it is possible that an error can be received from the firmware that results in the sev_data pointer being cleared from the controlling psp structure. The __sev_platform_shutdown_locked() function does not check for this situation and will segfault. While not common, this scenario should be accounted for. Add a check for a NULL sev_device structure before attempting to use it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
