From: Julius Niedworok <jniedwor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When triggering KVM_RUN without a user memory region being mapped (KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION) a validity intercept occurs. This could happen, if the user memory region was not mapped initially or if it was unmapped after the vcpu is initialized. The function kvm_s390_handle_requests checks for the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD bit. The check function always clears this bit. If gmap_mprotect_notify returns an error code, the mapping failed, but the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD was not set anymore. So the next time kvm_s390_handle_requests is called, the execution would fall trough the check for KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD. The bit needs to be resetted, if gmap_mprotect_notify returns an error code. Resetting the bit with kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD, vcpu) fixes the bug.
