KVM: x86/mmu: Skip mmu_notifier check when handling MMIO page fault
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.12-rc1 commit 5f8a7cf2 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=5f8a7cf25a7da5c2bbde25b3f0aca31459d20741 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't retry a page fault due to an mmu_notifier invalidation when handling a page fault for a GPA that did not resolve to a memslot, i.e. an MMIO page fault. Invalidations from the mmu_notifier signal a change in a host virtual address (HVA) mapping; without a memslot, there is no HVA and thus no possibility that the invalidation is relevant to the page fault being handled. Note, the MMIO vs. memslot generation checks handle the case where a pending memslot will create a memslot overlapping the faulting GPA. The mmu_notifier checks are orthogonal to memslot updates.
