[PATCH v3 3/8] KVM: s390: Fix _gaccess_shadow_fault()

From: Claudio Imbrenda

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 07:56:06 EST


In some circumstances, it is possible that the page of nested guest
memory that is being shadowed is not present at all in the parent guest
gmap. dat_entry_walk() will not find any leaf entry and return with
-ENOENT, which will erroneously be propagated all the way to userspace.

Fix by manually calling gmap_link() on the memory of the nested guest
that is being shadowed if the mapping was not already present.

Fixes: e38c884df921 ("KVM: s390: Switch to new gmap")
