[PATCH v7 08/29] s390/mm: Warn if uv_convert_from_secure_pte() fails
Posted by Claudio Imbrenda 2 days, 15 hours ago
If uv_convert_from_secure_pte() fails, the page becomes unusable by the
host. The failure can only occour in case of hardware malfunction or a
serious KVM bug.

When the unusable page is reused, the system can have issues and
hang.

Print a warning to aid debugging such unlikely scenarios.
