In case you verified this can't happen, you can add my: Reviewed-by: Juergen Gross <jgross at suse.com> Otherwise you either need to use RCU for doing the memunmap(), or a lock to protect stolen_time_region.

The reader is currently doing: if (!reg->kaddr) return 0; return le64_to_cpu(READ_ONCE(reg->kaddr->stolen_time)); so we'd also want an rcu_dereference() on reg->kaddr to avoid reading it twice. Will
