KVM: Drop KVM's API to allow temporarily unmapping gfn=>pfn cache
Drop kvm_gpc_unmap() as it has no users and unclear requirements. The API was added as part of the original gfn_to_pfn_cache support, but its sole usage[*] was never merged. Fold the guts of kvm_gpc_unmap() into the deactivate path and drop the API. Omit acquiring refresh_lock as as concurrent calls to kvm_gpc_deactivate() are not allowed (this is not enforced, e.g. via lockdep. due to it being called during vCPU destruction). If/when temporary unmapping makes a comeback, the desirable behavior is likely to restrict temporary unmapping to vCPU-exclusive mappings and require the vcpu->mutex be held to serialize unmap. Use of the refresh_lock to protect unmapping was somewhat specuatively added by commit 93984f19e7bc ("KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via mutex") to guard against concurrent unmaps, but the primary use case of the temporary unmap, nested virtualization[*], doesn't actually need or want concurrent unmaps.

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.
