[PATCH v6 00/14] KVM: s390: Misc fixes
From: Claudio Imbrenda
Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 13:59:43 EST
Fix a bunch of small issues that came up during the previous round of fixes.
They are mostly extremely unlikely races, but they should be fixed
nonetheless.
v5->v6
* Move the memory accesses in sca_ext_call_pending() and
sca_inject_ext_call() so that they only happen after the newly
introduced checks. Otherwise an out of bounds access was still possible.
* Completely fence the KVM_S390_INTERRUPT ioctl for UCONTROL VMs.
* Move page table updates from kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() to
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(), so that failures are not ignored.
v4->v5
* Improve / fix some comments
* Undo handle_mvpg_pei() changes
* cmma_d_count_pte() now clears the cmma_d bit, to avoid double counting
* Improve some patch descriptions
* Trigger KVM_BUG_ON() in sca_ext_call_pending() and
sca_inject_ext_call() if called on UCONTROL vCPUs
* Reshuffle the order of the patches to hopefully get fewer false
positives from sashiko
* Check and free cbrlo only if it's not zero
v3->v4
* Improve patch descriptions, add comments
* Use smp_store_release and smp_load_acquire in the first patch
* Multiple fixes in patch 4: potential NULL pointer dereference,
incorrect behaviour in low memory condition
* Rework patch 8 to use scope-based cleanup instead of gotos.
* Three new patches:
- KVM: s390: Fix kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() when low on memory
- KVM: s390: Fix kvm_s390_vcpu_unsetup_cmma()
- KVM: s390: Fix sca_clear_ext_call() for UCONTROL
v2->v3
* Use READ_ONCE to pair with WRITE_ONCE in the first patch
* Fix leaking PGM_ADDRESSING also in kvm_s390_keyop() and related functions
* Fix and improve commit messages
* Use slots_arch_lock instead of slots_lock for ESSA operations
* Use normal spin_{,un}lock() functions instead of scoped_guard to avoid
mixing the two styles
* Use the newly introduced vcpu->arch.initialized to determine whether the
SCA entry needs to be cleared
* Improve handling of -EINTR; handle_mvpg_pei() needed some refactoring to
deal with it properly
* Three new patches:
- Free the mmu cache when kvm_arch_vcpu_create() fails
- Fix ordering when adding to SCA
- Fix cleanup in kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu()
v1->v2
* Drop some patches that have been picked upstream in the meantime.
* Drop patch 3, as it was trying to fix a bug that does not exist
* Avoid the NULL gmap dereference by using a flag
* Fix the return value of kvm_s390_[gp]et_skeys too
* Use kvm->slots_arch_lock instead of kvm->slots_lock for CMMA and ESSA
handling, to avoid potential deadlocks with the RCU.
* Three new patches to fix other issues that came out while fixing the
other issues
