KVM: Fix write protection race during dirty logging
This patch fixes a race introduced by: commit 95d4c16c KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect() During protecting pages for dirty logging, other threads may also try to protect a page in mmu_sync_children() or kvm_mmu_get_page(). In such a case, because get_dirty_log releases mmu_lock before flushing TLB's, the following race condition can happen: A (get_dirty_log) B (another thread) lock(mmu_lock) clear pte.w unlock(mmu_lock) lock(mmu_lock) pte.w is already cleared unlock(mmu_lock) skip TLB flush return ... TLB flush Though thread B assumes the page has already been protected when it returns, the remaining TLB entry will break that assumption. This patch fixes this problem by making get_dirty_log hold the mmu_lock until it flushes the TLB's.
