In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: keyop: use mmu_lock to read gmap->asce
Every other dat_* consumer in this file (kvm_s390_get_skeys,
set_skeys, get_cmma_bits, set_cmma_bits, MEM_CLR_CMMA,
kvm_s390_fixup_prefix, kvm_test_age_gfn, kvm_age_gfn) reads
kvm->arch.gmap->asce *inside* the mmu_lock read-side. keyop is the only
outlier.
gmap->asce is mutated under write_lock(mmu_lock) by gmap_set_limit()
and keyop might use a stale asce value for walking as KVM_S390_KEYOP
and KVM_S390_VM_MEM_LIMIT_SIZE can run concurrently. This can result
in memory corruption.
