[PATCH] KVM: x86/MMU: Zap all when removing memslot if VM has assigned device
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Aug 15 2019 - 11:12:32 EST
Alex Williamson reported regressions with device assignment when KVM
changed its memslot removal logic to zap only the SPTEs for the memslot
being removed. The source of the bug is unknown at this time, and root
causing the issue will likely be a slow process. In the short term, fix
the regression by zapping all SPTEs when removing a memslot from a VM
with assigned device(s).

An alternative idea to a full revert. I assume this would be easy to
backport, and also easy to revert or quirk depending on where the bug
is hiding.
