The cleanup series I'm prepping adds lockdep assertions for the relevant paths, e.g. $ git grep -B 8 -E "update_gfn_write_track.*;" arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-void __kvm_write_track_add_gfn(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_memory_slot *slot, arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- gfn_t gfn) arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-{ arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- lockdep_assert_held_write(&kvm->mmu_lock); arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- if (KVM_BUG_ON(!kvm_page_track_write_tracking_enabled(kvm), kvm)) arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- return; arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c: update_gfn_write_track(slot, gfn, 1); -- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-void __kvm_write_track_remove_gfn(struct kvm *kvm, arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- struct kvm_memory_slot *slot, gfn_t gfn) arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c-{ arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- lockdep_assert_held_write(&kvm->mmu_lock); arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- if (KVM_BUG_ON(!kvm_page_track_write_tracking_enabled(kvm), kvm)) arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- return; arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c: update_gfn_write_track(slot, gfn, -1);
