Fix races between mmu_notifier invalidation and pfncache refresh, and
within the pfncache itself.
The first two patches are reverts of the patches sitting in kvm/queue,
trying to separate and fix the races independently is nigh impossible.
I assume/hope they can be ignored and the original patches dropped.
I've proven all the races, though I was never able to trigger an actual
error in the race with the mmu_notifier, just a WARN I added on the
hva=>pfn translation being invalid/not-present when accessing memory
via the khva. Hitting the race also required a series of handoffs in the
kernel between the two tasks, i.e. I can't provide any upstream-worthy
test :-(
v3:
- Split the refresh serialization to a separate patch.
- Use a mutex to serialize refrehses. [Lai Jiangshan]
- Add back Cc to stable@ (omitted in v2 because I was less confident
that backporting the mess would be a good idea].
v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220427014004.1992589-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
- Map the pfn=>khva outside of gpc->lock. [Maxim]
- Fix a page leak.
- Fix more races.
