Um...our testcase starts 50 VMs with 2U4G(use 1G hugepage) and then do
live-upgrade(private feature that just modify the qemu and libvirt) and
live-migrate in turns for each one. However our live upgraded new QEMU won't do
touch_all_pages.
Suppose we start a VM without touch_all_pages in QEMU, the VM's guest memory is
not mapped in the CR3 pagetable at the moment. When the 2 vcpus running, they
could access some pages belong to the same 1G-hugepage, both of them will vmexit
due to ept_violation and then call gup-->follow_hugetlb_page-->hugetlb_fault, so
the race may encounter, right?
