On machines without the Destroy Secure Configuration Fast UVC, the topmost level of page tables is set aside and freed asynchronously as last step of the asynchronous teardown. Each gmap has a host_to_guest radix tree mapping host (userspace) addresses (with 1M granularity) to gmap segment table entries (pmds). If a guest is smaller than 2GB, the topmost level of page tables is the segment table (i.e. there are only 2 levels). Replacing it means that the pointers in the host_to_guest mapping would become stale and cause all kinds of nasty issues. This patch fixes the issue by disallowing asynchronous teardown for guests with only 2 levels of page tables. Userspace should (and already does) try using the normal destroy if the asynchronous one fails. Update s390_replace_asce so it refuses to replace segment type ASCEs. v1->v2: After talking with Marc, I decided to throw away most of the patch and instead simply refuse to prepare for asynchronous teardown if the VM has a segment type ASCE.
