[PATCH v1 2/3] KVM: s390: vsie: Fix race in walk_guest_tables()

From: Claudio Imbrenda

Date: Fri Feb 06 2026 - 09:40:36 EST


It is possible that walk_guest_tables() is called on a shadow gmap that
has been removed already, in which case its parent will be NULL.

In such case, return -EAGAIN and let the callers deal with it.

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