Commit f98a8bf9ee ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB
ioctl() to change HPT size", 2016-12-20) changed the behaviour of
the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl so that it now allocates a new HPT
and new revmap array if there was a previously-allocated HPT of a
different size from the size being requested. In this case, we need
to reset the rmap arrays of the memslots, because the rmap arrays
will contain references to HPTEs which are no longer valid. Worse,
these references are also references to slots in the new revmap
array (which parallels the HPT), and the new revmap array contains
random contents, since it doesn't get zeroed on allocation.
The effect of having these stale references to slots in the revmap
array that contain random contents is that subsequent calls to
functions such as kvmppc_add_revmap_chain will crash because they
will interpret the non-zero contents of the revmap array as HPTE
indexes and thus index outside of the revmap array. This leads to
host crashes such as the following.

Note that to trigger this, it is necessary to use a recent upstream
QEMU (or other userspace that resizes the HPT at CAS time), specify
a maximum memory size substantially larger than the current memory
size, and boot a guest kernel that does not support HPT resizing.
This fixes the problem by resetting the rmap arrays when the old HPT
is freed.
