Subject: [PATCH stable-4.9.y backport] KVM: arm/arm64: Don't reschedule in unmap_stage2_range()
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 12:29:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200824112940.24706-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)
Upstream commits fdfe7cbd5880 ("KVM: Pass MMU notifier range flags to
kvm_unmap_hva_range()") and b5331379bc62 ("KVM: arm64: Only reschedule
if MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_BLOCKABLE is not set") fix a "sleeping from invalid
context" BUG caused by unmap_stage2_range() attempting to reschedule when
called on the OOM path.
Unfortunately, these patches rely on the MMU notifier callback being
passed knowledge about whether or not blocking is permitted, which was
introduced in 4.19. Rather than backport this considerable amount of
infrastructure just for KVM on arm, instead just remove the conditional
reschedule.
