Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Handle hva aging while destroying the vm
From: Suzuki K Poulose <[email protected]>
commit 7e5a672289c9754d07e1c3b33649786d3d70f5e4 upstream.
The mmu_notifier_release() callback of KVM triggers cleaning up the stage2 page table on kvm-arm. However there could be other notifier callbacks in parallel with the mmu_notifier_release(), which could cause the call backs ending up in an empty stage2 page table. Make sure we check it for all the notifier callbacks.
