Subject: [PATCH v5 06/13] KVM: s390: Fix race in __do_essa()
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 17:29:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729152938.782383-7-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729152938.782383-1-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_arch_lock. Since this is not a hot path, the
overhead of an additional mutex is negligible.
Fixes: e38c884df921 ("KVM: s390: Switch to new gmap")
