Now that all callers of zap_gfn_range() hold mmu_lock for write, drop support for zapping with mmu_lock held for read. That all callers hold mmu_lock for write isn't a random coincidence; now that the paths that need to zap _everything_ have their own path, the only callers left are those that need to zap for functional correctness. And when zapping is required for functional correctness, mmu_lock must be held for write, otherwise the caller has no guarantees about the state of the TDP MMU page tables after it has run, e.g. the SPTE(s) it zapped can be immediately replaced by a vCPU faulting in a page.

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.
