From: Ignacio Alvarado <ikalvarado@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 1650b4ebc99da4c137bfbfc531be4a2405f951dd upstream. Function user_notifier_unregister should be called only once for each registered user notifier. Function kvm_arch_hardware_disable can be executed from an IPI context which could cause a race condition with a VCPU returning to user mode and attempting to unregister the notifier.
