KVM: s390: fix locking order problem in enable_sie
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are potential locking problem in enable_sie. We take the task_lock
and the mmap_sem. As exit_mm uses the same locks vice versa, this triggers
a lockdep warning.
The second problem is that dup_mm and mmput might sleep, so we must not
hold the task_lock at that moment.

The solution is to dup the mm unconditional and use the task_lock before and
afterwards to check  if we can use the new mm. dup_mm and mmput are called
outside the task_lock, but we run update_mm while holding the task_lock,
protection us against ptrace.
