kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin() is called unconditionally in
kvm_gmem_invalidate_begin(),
but kvm_mmu_invalidate_end() is not here.
This makes the kvm_gmem_invalidate_{begin, end}() calls asymmetric.
Another ouch :-(

And there should be no need to acquire mmu_lock() unconditionally, the inode's
mutex protects the bindings, not mmu_lock.

I'll get a fix posted today.  I think KVM can also add a sanity check to detect
unresolved invalidations, e.g.

Why to loop for each gmem in gmem_list here?

IIUIC, offset is the offset according to the inode, it is only meaningful to
the inode passed in, i.e, it is only meaningful to the gmem binding with the
inode, not others.
The code is structured to allow for multiple gmem instances per inode.  This isn't
actually possible in the initial code base, but it's on the horizon[*].  I included
the list-based infrastructure in this initial series to ensure that guest_memfd
can actually support multiple files per inode, and to minimize the churn when the
"link" support comes along.

Got it, thanks for the explanation!
