Subject: [GIT PULL 1/1] KVM: s390: Fix lockdep issue in vm memop
Date: Mon,  2 May 2022 17:30:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220502153053.6460-2-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220502153053.6460-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com>

From: Janis Schoetterl-Glausch <scgl@linux.ibm.com>

Issuing a vm memop on a protected vm does not make sense,
neither is the memory readable/writable, nor does it make sense to check
storage keys. This is why the ioctl will return -EINVAL when it detects
the vm to be protected. However, in order to ensure that the vm cannot
become protected during the memop, the kvm->lock would need to be taken
for the duration of the ioctl. This is also required because
kvm_s390_pv_is_protected asserts that the lock must be held.
Instead, don't try to prevent this. If user space enables secure
execution concurrently with a memop it must accecpt the possibility of
the memop failing.
Still check if the vm is currently protected, but without locking and
consider it a heuristic.
