Subject: [PATCH 4/5] KVM: Hold MMU lock exclusively when calling kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all()
Date: Mon,  4 May 2026 22:42:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504224213.1049426-5-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504224213.1049426-1-jthoughton@google.com>

All architectures that non-trivially implement this function grab the
KVM MMU lock exclusively to prevent things like double-freeing of page
table entries and caches. Do so generically to somewhat simplify the
architecture-specific logic.

Without this change, it is possible for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() to
be called on the same `kvm` at the same time: if the `kvm`'s mm is
destroyed (exit_mm()) at the same time to the final reference to the
`kvm` is dropped.
