[PATCH 04/34] KVM: WARN if there are dangling MMU invalidations at VM destruction
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 1 year ago
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Add an assertion that there are no in-progress MMU invalidations when a
VM is being destroyed, with the exception of the scenario where KVM
unregisters its MMU notifier between an .invalidate_range_start() call and
the corresponding .invalidate_range_end().

KVM can't detect unpaired calls from the mmu_notifier due to the above
exception waiver, but the assertion can detect KVM bugs, e.g. such as the
bug that *almost* escaped initial guest_memfd development.
