From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@xxxxxxxxxx> There is no need to copy the whole memslot data after releasing slots_arch_lock for a moment to install temporary memslots copy in kvm_set_memslot() since this lock only protects the arch field of each memslot. Just resync this particular field after reacquiring slots_arch_lock. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.
