In mark_page_dirty_in_slot(), we bail out when no running vcpu exists and a running vcpu context is strictly required by architecture. It may cause backwards compatible issue. Currently, saving vgic/its tables is the only known case where no running vcpu context is expected. We may have other unknown cases where no running vcpu context exists and it's reported by the warning message and we bail out without pushing the dirty information to the backup bitmap. For this, the application is going to enable the backup bitmap for the unknown cases. However, the dirty information can't be pushed to the backup bitmap even though the backup bitmap is enabled for those unknown cases in the application, until the unknown cases are added to the allowed list of non-running vcpu context with extra code changes to the host kernel. In order to make the new application, where the backup bitmap has been enabled, to work with the unchanged host, we continue to push the dirty information to the backup bitmap instead of bailing out early. With the added check on 'memslot->dirty_bitmap' to mark_page_dirty_in_slot(), the kernel crash is avoided silently by the combined conditions: no running vcpu context, kvm_arch_allow_write_without_running_vcpu() returns 'true', and the backup bitmap (KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP) isn't enabled yet.
