UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38359: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/mm: Fix inatomic() handling in dosecurestorageaccess() 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 inatomic(): 1, irqsdisabled(): 0, nonblock: 0, pid: 419074, name: qemu-system-s39 preemptcount: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

It is not allowed to take the mmaplock 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).

In do_secure_storage_access(), handle secure storage access faults in atomic context as if the accessed page is not mapped so the uaccess function returns -EFAULT; retry the access in process context to allow the page fault to be resolved or the page to be exported.
