[ Upstream commit234ff0b729] Testing has revealed an occasional crash which appears to be caused by a race between kvmppc_switch_mmu_to_hpt and kvm_unmap_hva_range_hv. The symptom is a NULL pointer dereference in __find_linux_pte() called from kvm_unmap_radix() with kvm->arch.pgtable == NULL. Looking at kvmppc_switch_mmu_to_hpt(), it does indeed clear kvm->arch.pgtable (via kvmppc_free_radix()) before setting kvm->arch.radix to NULL, and there is nothing to prevent kvm_unmap_hva_range_hv() or the other MMU callback functions from being called concurrently with kvmppc_switch_mmu_to_hpt() or kvmppc_switch_mmu_to_radix(). This patch therefore adds calls to spin_lock/unlock on the kvm->mmu_lock around the assignments to kvm->arch.radix, and makes sure that the partition-scoped radix tree or HPT is only freed after changing kvm->arch.radix. This also takes the kvm->mmu_lock in kvmppc_rmap_reset() to make sure that the clearing of each rmap array (one per memslot) doesn't happen concurrently with use of the array in the kvm_unmap_hva_range_hv() or the other MMU callbacks.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
