Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "KVM: arm64: Reschedule as needed when destroying the stage-2 page-tables"
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:09:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910180930.3679473-2-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250910180930.3679473-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev>
This reverts commit e9abe311f35631a999fe38c86f26f0e48ffe46d5.
syzkaller has managed to tease out multiple bugs in this change and
fixing-forward didn't remedy the situation. Considering newly-introduced
memory safety issues the potential for scheduler stalls don't seem that
bad in comparison
