Subject: [PATCH v1 1/8] KVM: s390: vsie: Avoid potential deadlock with real spaces
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 17:23:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702152406.204782-2-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702152406.204782-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>

The natural lock ordering is mmu_lock -> children_lock, but in
gmap_create_shadow() the reverse order is used when handling shadowing
of real address spaces.

Convert the inner locking of kvm->mmu_lock to a trylock; return -EAGAIN
if the lock is busy, and let the caller try again.

This path is not expected to happen in real-life scenarios, so its
performance is not important.

Fixes: a2c17f9270cc ("KVM: s390: New gmap code")
