Revert "KVM/MMU: Flush tlb directly in the kvm_zap_gfn_range()" This reverts commit 71883a62fcd6c70639fa12cda733378b4d997409. The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes, kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched. See an example of this race below: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 3 // zap_direct_gfn_range mmu_lock() // *ptep == pte_1 *ptep = 0 if (lock_flush_tlb) flush_tlbs() mmu_unlock() // In invalidate range // MMU notifier mmu_lock() if (pte != 0) *ptep = 0 flush = true if (flush) flush_remote_tlbs() mmu_unlock() return // Host MM reallocates // page previously // backing guest memory. // Guest accesses // invalid page // through pte_1 // in its TLB!! Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and without this patch. The patch introduced no new failures.
