[PATCH v1 2/7] KVM: s390: vsie: Fix check for pre-existing shadow mapping

From: Claudio Imbrenda

Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 10:12:57 EST


When shadowing a nested guest, a check is performed and no shadowing is
attempted if the nested guest is already shadowed.

The existing check was incomplete; fix it by also checking whether the
leaf DAT table entry in the existing shadow gmap has the same protection
as the one specified in the guest DAT entry.
