Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 5/7] KVM: s390: vsie: Fix pinning using the wrong flag
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:05:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-189349@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029130044.125032-6-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>
> When pinning guest memory using pin_blocks(), gfn_to_page() was used,
> which under the hood uses FOLL_GET, which is the wrong type of flag for
> memory that is accessed directly by hardware.
>
> Fix by using kvm_vcpu_{,un}map(), which uses FOLL_PIN and is the
> correct thing to do.
>
> While technically a bugfix, the previous behaviour can only lead to
> guest corruption in extremely convoluted test scenarios that cannot
> happen in real/production systems.
