Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Handle hva aging while destroying the vm
From: Suzuki K Poulose <Suzuki.Poulose@xxxxxxx>
commit 7e5a672289c9754d07e1c3b33649786d3d70f5e4 upstream.
The mmu_notifier_release() callback of KVM triggers cleaning up
the stage2 page table on kvm-arm. However there could be other
notifier callbacks in parallel with the mmu_notifier_release(),
which could cause the call backs ending up in an empty stage2
page table. Make sure we check it for all the notifier callbacks.
Fixes: commit 293f29363 ("kvm-arm: Unmap shadow pagetables properly")
