[GIT PULL 1/1] KVM: s390: Fix lockdep issue in vm memop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Janis Schoetterl-Glausch <scgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Issuing a vm memop on a protected vm does not make sense,
neither is the memory readable/writable, nor does it make sense to check
storage keys. This is why the ioctl will return -EINVAL when it detects
the vm to be protected. However, in order to ensure that the vm cannot
become protected during the memop, the kvm->lock would need to be taken
for the duration of the ioctl. This is also required because
kvm_s390_pv_is_protected asserts that the lock must be held.
Instead, don't try to prevent this. If user space enables secure
execution concurrently with a memop it must accecpt the possibility of
the memop failing.
Still check if the vm is currently protected, but without locking and
consider it a heuristic.
