[PATCH v4 6/6] KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_all preemptable

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Fri Apr 26 2013 - 23:14:20 EST


Now, kvm_mmu_zap_all is only called in the path of mmu_notifier->release,
at that time, vcpu has stopped that means no new page will be create, we
can use lock-break technique to avoid potential soft lockup

(Note: at this time, the mmu-lock still has contention between ->release
and other mmu-notify handlers.)
