[PATCH v6 08/14] KVM: s390: ucontrol: Add missing locking around gmap_remove_child()

From: Claudio Imbrenda

Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 13:55:29 EST


gmap_remove_child() needs to be called while holding the children_lock
of the parent gmap. This was not the case in the error handling path of
kvm_arch_vcpu_create() for UCONTROL guests.

Fix by adding the missing lock.
