[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Clean up indirect_shadow_pages usage

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Feb 02 2024 - 19:23:59 EST


Resurrect a 6 month old patch from Mingwei, add a few cleanps on top, and
fix a largely theoretical race between emulating writes and write-protecting
shadow pages. At least, I'm pretty sure there's a race. Memory ordering
isn't exactly my strong suit.

v2:
- Drop the unnecessary READ_ONCE(). [Jim]
- Cleanup more old crud in reexecute_instruction().
- Fix the aforementioned race.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230605004334.1930091-1-mizhang@xxxxxxxxxx

Mingwei Zhang (1):
KVM: x86/mmu: Don't acquire mmu_lock when using indirect_shadow_pages
as a heuristic

Sean Christopherson (3):
KVM: x86: Drop dedicated logic for direct MMUs in
reexecute_instruction()
KVM: x86: Drop superfluous check on direct MMU vs. WRITE_PF_TO_SP flag
KVM: x86/mmu: Fix a *very* theoretical race in kvm_mmu_track_write()
