mainlining shenanigans
0c428a6a92
We yield the kvm->mmu_lock occassionaly while performing an operation (e.g, unmap or permission changes) on a large area of stage2 mappings. However this could possibly cause another thread to clear and free up the stage2 page tables while we were waiting for regaining the lock and thus the original thread could end up in accessing memory that was freed. This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the stage2 pagetable is still valid after we regain the lock. The fact that mmu_notifer->release() could be called twice (via __mmu_notifier_release and mmu_notifier_unregsister) enhances the possibility of hitting this race where there are two threads trying to unmap the entire guest shadow pages. While at it, cleanup the redudant checks around cond_resched_lock in stage2_wp_range(), as cond_resched_lock already does the same checks.

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.
