[PATCH v3 6/6] mshv: unmap debugfs stats pages on kexec
From: Jork Loeser
Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 21:37:28 EST
On L1VH, debugfs stats pages are overlay pages: the kernel allocates
them and registers the GPAs with the hypervisor via
HVCALL_MAP_STATS_PAGE2. These overlay mappings persist in the
hypervisor across kexec. If the kexec'd kernel reuses those physical
pages, the hypervisor's overlay semantics cause a machine check
exception.
Fix this by calling mshv_debugfs_exit() from the reboot notifier,
which issues HVCALL_UNMAP_STATS_PAGE for each mapped stats page before
kexec. This releases the overlay bindings so the physical pages can be
safely reused. Guard mshv_debugfs_exit() against being called when
init failed.
