[PATCH] s390/mm: Fix in_atomic() handling in do_secure_storage_access()
From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Tue Jun 03 2025 - 09:50:06 EST
Kernel user spaces accesses to not exported pages in atomic context
incorrectly try to resolve the page fault.
With debug options enabled call traces like this can be seen:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1523

It is not allowed to take the mmap_lock while in atomic context. Therefore
handle such a secure storage access fault as if the accessed page is not
mapped: the uaccess function will return -EFAULT, and the caller has to
deal with this. Usually this means that the access is retried in process
context, which allows to resolve the page fault (or in this case export the
page).
