When kvm->tlbs_dirty > 0, some rmaps might have been deleted without flushing tlb remotely after kvm_sync_page(). If @gfn was writable before and it's rmaps was deleted in kvm_sync_page(), and if the tlb entry is still in a remote running VCPU, the @gfn is not safely protected. To fix the problem, kvm_sync_page() does the remote flush when needed to avoid the problem.

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.
