Re-request an APIC-access page reload if there is a relevant mmu_notifier invalidation in-progress when KVM retrieves the backing pfn, i.e. stall vCPUs until the backing pfn for the APIC-access page is "officially" stable. Relying on the primary MMU to not make changes after invoking ->invalidate_range() works, e.g. any additional changes to a PRESENT PTE would also trigger an ->invalidate_range(), but using ->invalidate_range() to fudge around KVM not honoring past and in-progress invalidations is a bit hacky. Honoring invalidations will allow using KVM's standard mmu_notifier hooks to detect APIC-access page reloads, which will in turn allow removing KVM's implementation of ->invalidate_range() (the APIC-access page case is a true one-off). Opportunistically add a comment to explain why doing nothing if a memslot isn't found is functionally correct.

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.
