Subject: [PATCH v4 09/13] KVM: s390: Fix ordering when adding to SCA
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 19:07:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728170708.294400-10-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728170708.294400-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>
When adding a new vCPU to the SCA area, the validity bit in the MCN was
set before the pointer to the state description, potentially allowing
for a race.
Fix by setting the pointer before setting the bit.
Fixes: 14542a0a54c5 ("KVM: S390: Remove sca_lock")
