Commit468808bd35("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set process table for HPT guests on POWER9", 2017-01-30) added a call to kvmppc_update_lpcr() which doesn't hold the kvm->lock mutex around the call, as required. This adds the lock/unlock pair, and for good measure, includes the kvmppc_setup_partition_table() call in the locked region, since it is altering global state of the VM. This error appears not to have any fatal consequences for the host; the consequences would be that the VCPUs could end up running with different LPCR values, or an update to the LPCR value by userspace using the one_reg interface could get overwritten, or the update done by kvmhv_configure_mmu() could get overwritten.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
