Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] KVM: s390: Fix race in __do_essa()
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:08:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713150857.269954-4-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260713150857.269954-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>

An unlikely race between __do_essa() and kvm_s390_vm_start_migration(),
kvm_s390_vm_stop_migration(), or dat_get_cmma() was possible.

Fix by locking kvm->slots_lock. Since this is not a hot path, the
overhead of an additional mutex is negligible.

Fixes: e38c884df921 ("KVM: s390: Switch to new gmap")
