If the KVM_S390_MEM_OP ioctl is called with an access register >= 16, then there is certainly a bug in the calling userspace application. We check for wrong access registers, but only if the vCPU was already in the access register mode before (i.e. the SIE block has recorded it). The check is also buried somewhere deep in the calling chain (in the function ar_translation()), so this is somewhat hard to find. It's better to always report an error to the userspace in case this field is set wrong, and it's safer in the KVM code if we block wrong values here early instead of relying on a check somewhere deep down the calling chain, so let's add another check to kvm_s390_guest_mem_op() directly. We also should check that the "size" is non-zero here (thanks to Janosch Frank for the hint!). If we do not check the size, we could call vmalloc() with this 0 value, and this will cause a kernel warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
