[PATCH v2] KVM: x86/mmu: Assert on @mmu in the __kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr()

From: Like Xu
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 23:30:11 EST


From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add assertion to track that "mmu == vcpu->arch.mmu" is always true in the
context of __kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr(). for_each_shadow_entry_using_root()
and kvm_sync_spte() operate on vcpu->arch.mmu, but the only reason that
doesn't cause explosions is because handle_invept() frees roots instead of
doing a manual invalidation. As of now, there are no major roadblocks
to switching INVEPT emulation over to use kvm_mmu_invalidate_addr().

V1 -> V2 Changelog:
- Better to assert on @mmu instead of deleting it. (Sean)
