[PATCH v5 4/9] s390/vfio-ap: Fix required lock not held during update of ap_matrix_mdev object
From: Anthony Krowiak
Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 16:09:37 EST
In the vfio_ap_mdev_cfg_add function, the apm_add, aqm_add and adm_add
fields of an ap_matrix_mdev object fields are modified while not holding
the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock. This lock must be held while making these
to guard against a race condition with another caller that may be
concurrently modifying these fields or any of the fields in the
matrix_mdev->matrix.
Fixes: eeb386aeb5b7c ("s390/vfio-ap: handle config changed and scan complete notification")
