Drop the second snapshot of mmu_invalidate_seq in kvm_faultin_pfn(). Before checking the mismatch of private vs. shared, mmu_invalidate_seq is saved to fault->mmu_seq, which can be used to detect an invalidation related to the gfn occurred, i.e. KVM will not install a mapping in page table if fault->mmu_seq != mmu_invalidate_seq. Currently there is a second snapshot of mmu_invalidate_seq, which may not be same as the first snapshot in kvm_faultin_pfn(), i.e. the gfn attribute may be changed between the two snapshots, but the gfn may be mapped in page table without hindrance. Therefore, drop the second snapshot as it has no obvious benefits.

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 reStructuredText 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.
