There is a potential race condition between hypervisor page faults and flushing a memslot. It is possible for a page fault to read the memslot before a memslot is updated and then write a PTE to the partition-scoped page tables after kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot has completed. (Note that this race has never been explicitly observed.) To close this race, it is sufficient to increment the MMU sequence number while the kvm->mmu_lock is held. That will cause mmu_notifier_retry() to return true, and the page fault will then return to the guest without inserting a PTE. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
