If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1de1ea7efeb9e8543212210e34518b4049ccd285 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 10:54:20 +0100 Subject: KVM: s390: add proper locking for CMMA migration bitmap From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1de1ea7efeb9e8543212210e34518b4049ccd285 upstream. Some parts of the cmma migration bitmap is already protected with the kvm->lock (e.g. the migration start). On the other hand the read of the cmma bits is not protected against a concurrent free, neither is the emulation of the ESSA instruction. Let's extend the locking to all related ioctls by using the slots lock for - kvm_s390_vm_start_migration - kvm_s390_vm_stop_migration - kvm_s390_set_cmma_bits - kvm_s390_get_cmma_bits In addition to that, we use synchronize_srcu before freeing the migration structure as all users hold kvm->srcu for read. (e.g. the ESSA handler).
