[PATCH v2 3/7] KVM: s390: Fix race in __do_essa()
From: Claudio Imbrenda
Date: Mon Jul 13 2026 - 11:11:39 EST
An unlikely race between __do_essa() and kvm_s390_vm_start_migration(),
kvm_s390_vm_stop_migration(), or dat_get_cmma() was possible.
Fix by locking kvm->slots_lock. Since this is not a hot path, the
overhead of an additional mutex is negligible.
Fixes: e38c884df921 ("KVM: s390: Switch to new gmap")
