Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: Fix lockdep issue in vm memop
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 16:32:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220322153204.2637400-1-scgl@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Issuing a memop on a protected vm does not make sense,
neither is the memory readable/writable, nor does it make sense to check
storage keys. This is why the ioctl will return -EINVAL when it detects
the vm to be protected. However, in order to ensure that the vm cannot
become protected during the memop, the kvm->lock would need to be taken
for the duration of the ioctl. This is also required because
kvm_s390_pv_is_protected asserts that the lock must be held.
Instead, don't try to prevent this. If user space enables secure
execution concurrently with a memop it must accecpt the possibility of
the memop failing.
Still check if the vm is currently protected, but without locking and
consider it a heuristic.
