Thanks for the review!

Sure, I'll change it to DMWARN().

That's what I had initially, however checkpatch didn't like it:
ERROR: do not initialise statics to NULL
#70: FILE: drivers/md/dm-verity-loadpin.c:10:
+static struct list_head *trusted_root_digests = NULL;
So I removed it.

The list of trusted root digests can only be set once and is never
cleared. So if it is not set there is nothing to do, and if it is
set the list is immutable. We are trusting the caller to adhere to
that 'contract' and partially enforce it in dm_verity_loadpin_set_trusted_root_digests()
With that do you still think locking is needed?
