If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit afbd9d3dd682500a4c3192ebc0da1abe2ae2697f Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 20 13:53:17 2023 +0100 KVM: s390: vsie: fix race during shadow creation [ Upstream commit fe752331d4b361d43cfd0b89534b4b2176057c32 ] Right now it is possible to see gmap->private being zero in kvm_s390_vsie_gmap_notifier resulting in a crash. This is due to the fact that we add gmap->private == kvm after creation: static int acquire_gmap_shadow(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct vsie_page *vsie_page) { [...] gmap = gmap_shadow(vcpu->arch.gmap, asce, edat); if (IS_ERR(gmap)) return PTR_ERR(gmap); gmap->private = vcpu->kvm; Let children inherit the private field of the parent.
