[PATCH 2/3] KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Tue Jul 03 2012 - 02:31:48 EST
Fix:
[ 3190.059226] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
[ 3190.062224] IP: [<ffffffffa02aac66>] mmu_page_zap_pte+0x10/0xa7 [kvm]
[ 3190.063760] PGD 104f50067 PUD 112bea067 PMD 0
[ 3190.065309] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
[ 3190.066860] CPU 1
[ ...... ]
[ 3190.109629] Call Trace:

[ 3190.121718] [<ffffffff8110ca1d>] do_try_to_free_pages
This is caused by shrinking page from the empty mmu, although we have
checked n_used_mmu_pages, it is useless since the check is out of mmu-lock
