[PATCH RFC 2/9] s390/gmap: don't unconditionally call pte_unmap_unlock() in __gmap_zap()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-09 15:00:06
Also in: linux-mm, linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: s390 architecture, the rest · Maintainers: Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Linus Torvalds

... otherwise we will try unlocking a spinlock that was never locked via a
garbage pointer.

At the time we reach this code path, we usually successfully looked up
a PGSTE already; however, evil user space could have manipulated the VMA
layout in the meantime and triggered removal of the page table.

Fixes: 1e133ab296f3 ("s390/mm: split arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c")
