Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] KVM: s390: Fix gmap_helper_zap_one_page() again
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 16:25:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106152545.338188-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
A few checks were missing in gmap_helper_zap_one_page(), which can lead
to memory corruption in the guest under specific circumstances.
Add the missing checks.
Fixes: 5deafa27d9ae ("KVM: s390: Fix to clear PTE when discarding a swapped page")
Reported-by: Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@linux.ibm.com>
