The patch titled
KVM: MMU: Never free a shadow page actively serving as a root
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kvm-mmu-never-free-a-shadow-page-actively-serving-as-a-root.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: KVM: MMU: Never free a shadow page actively serving as a root
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
We always need cr3 to point to something valid, so if we detect that we're
freeing a root page, simply push it back to the top of the active list.
