Commit f98a8bf9ee20 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size", 2016-12-20) changed the behaviour of the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl so that it now allocates a new HPT and new revmap array if there was a previously-allocated HPT of a different size from the size being requested. In this case, we need to reset the rmap arrays of the memslots, because the rmap arrays will contain references to HPTEs which are no longer valid. Worse, these references are also references to slots in the new revmap array (which parallels the HPT), and the new revmap array contains random contents, since it doesn't get zeroed on allocation. The effect of having these stale references to slots in the revmap array that contain random contents is that subsequent calls to functions such as kvmppc_add_revmap_chain will crash because they will interpret the non-zero contents of the revmap array as HPTE indexes and thus index outside of the revmap array. This leads to host crashes such as the following.

This fixes the problem by resetting the rmap arrays when the old HPT is freed.
