Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] s390/uv: don't return 0 from make_hva_secure() if the operation was not successful
Date: Fri, 16 May 2025 14:39:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250516123946.1648026-2-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250516123946.1648026-1-david@redhat.com>
If s390_wiggle_split_folio() returns 0 because splitting a large folio
succeeded, we will return 0 from make_hva_secure() even though a retry
is required. Return -EAGAIN in that case.
Otherwise, we'll return 0 from gmap_make_secure(), and consequently from
unpack_one(). In kvm_s390_pv_unpack(), we assume that unpacking
succeeded and skip unpacking this page. Later on, we run into issues
and fail booting the VM.
So far, this issue was only observed with follow-up patches where we
split large pagecache XFS folios. Maybe it can also be triggered with
shmem?
We'll cleanup s390_wiggle_split_folio() a bit next, to also return 0
if no split was required.
Fixes: d8dfda5af0be ("KVM: s390: pv: fix race when making a page secure")
