Ah, are you saying, given:
VA_x = PML4_A -> PDP_B -> PD_C -> PT_D
the guest can modify PT_D, then link it with
VA_y = PML4_A -> PDP_B -> PD_E -> PT_D
and access it via VA_y without flushing, and so KVM must sync PT_D. Is that
correct?

I don't like dropping mmu_lock in the page fault path. I agree that it's not
all that different than grabbing various things in kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() long
before acquiring mmu_lock, but I'm not 100% convinced we don't have a latent
bug hiding somehwere in there :-), and (b) there's a possibility, however small,
that something in FNAME(fetch) that we're missing. Case in point, this technically
needs to do make_mmu_pages_available().
And I believe kvm_mmu_get_page() already tries to handle this case by requesting
KVM_REQ_MMU_SYNC if it uses a sp with unsync_children, it just doesn't handle SMP
interaction, e.g. can link a sp that's immediately available to other vCPUs before
the sync.
Rather than force the sync here, what about kicking all vCPUs and retrying the
page fault? The only gross part is that kvm_mmu_get_page() can now fail :-(
