Subject: [PATCH] KVM: s390: Fix to clear PTE when discarding a swapped page
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 14:17:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924121707.145350-1-ggala@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
KVM run fails when guests with 'cmm' cpu feature and host are
under memory pressure and use swap heavily. This is because
npages becomes ENOMEN (out of memory) in hva_to_pfn_slow()
which inturn propagates as EFAULT to qemu. Clearing the page
table entry when discarding an address that maps to a swap
entry resolves the issue.
