[GIT PULL v1 17/23] KVM: s390: Fix race in __do_essa()

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.kvm,org.kernel.vger.linux-s390
Message-ID <[email protected]>
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_arch_lock. Since this is not a hot path, the
overhead of an additional mutex is negligible.
