KVM: x86/mmu: Mark SPTEs in disconnected pages as removed
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.12-rc1 commit e25f0e0c category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I7S3VQ CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e25f0e0cd51bfb1e2e6121373c68f1427266bba7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When clearing TDP MMU pages what have been disconnected from the paging structure root, set the SPTEs to a special non-present value which will not be overwritten by other threads. This is needed to prevent races in which a thread is clearing a disconnected page table, but another thread has already acquired a pointer to that memory and installs a mapping in an already cleared entry. This can lead to memory leaks and accounting errors. Reviewed-by:Peter Feiner <pfeiner@google.com> Signed-off-by:
