commit 93984f19e7bce4c18084a6ef3dacafb155b806ed upstream. Protect gfn=>pfn cache refresh with a mutex to fully serialize refreshes. The refresh logic doesn't protect against - concurrent unmaps, or refreshes with different GPAs (which may or may not happen in practice, for example if a cache is only used under vcpu->mutex; but it's allowed in the code) - a false negative on the memslot generation. If the first refresh sees a stale memslot generation, it will refresh the hva and generation before moving on to the hva=>pfn translation. If it then drops gpc->lock, a different user of the cache can come along, acquire gpc->lock, see that the memslot generation is fresh, and skip the hva=>pfn update due to the userspace address also matching (because it too was updated). The refresh path can already sleep during hva=>pfn resolution, so wrap the refresh with a mutex to ensure that any given refresh runs to completion before other callers can start their refresh.

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.
