[ Upstream commite0c378684b] Retry page faults (re-enter the guest) that hit an invalid memslot instead of treating the memslot as not existing, i.e. handling the page fault as an MMIO access. When deleting a memslot, SPTEs aren't zapped and the TLBs aren't flushed until after the memslot has been marked invalid. Handling the invalid slot as MMIO means there's a small window where a page fault could replace a valid SPTE with an MMIO SPTE. The legacy MMU handles such a scenario cleanly, but the TDP MMU assumes such behavior is impossible (see the BUG() in __handle_changed_spte()). There's really no good reason why the legacy MMU should allow such a scenario, and closing this hole allows for additional cleanups.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
