Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: arm64: ptdump: Remove shadow ptdump files
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:10:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630121005.1130996-2-weilin.chang@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630121005.1130996-1-weilin.chang@arm.com>
Previously we exposed shadow page tables by creating a debugfs ptdump
file whenever a nested mmu instance gets bound to a new context, and
deleting the debugfs file whose context was getting unbound.
This turned out to be buggy, as the instance<->context binding process
is done with the mmu_lock held, and debugfs creation/deletion can sleep.
Revert most of commit 19e15dc73f0f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page
tables in debugfs"), keep the "nested" debugfs directory for use in a
later patch where we'll expose the shadow ptdump in another way.
Fixes: 19e15dc73f0f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page tables in debugfs")
Reported-by: Itaru Kitayama <itaru.kitayama@fujitsu.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/aiuF0KSvvv-ZozI1@sm-arm-grace07/
