Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Ensure that calls to idr_alloc are synchronized
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 15:32:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001100208.1271628-2-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001100208.1271628-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com>
Calls to idr_alloc() in __prealloc_nested() are not currently synchronized.
According to the documentation [1], the caller should provide their own
locking to prevent concurrent modifications to the idr to prevent bugs.
Wrap the call to __prealloc_nested() in a spinlock to prevent concurrent
modifications to idr.
[1]: lib/idr.c
Fixes: c0f00a18e2a8 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Change nested guest lookup to use idr")
