Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/MMU: Zap all when removing memslot if VM has assigned device
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 08:12:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190815151228.32242-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1565855169-29491-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>

Alex Williamson reported regressions with device assignment when KVM
changed its memslot removal logic to zap only the SPTEs for the memslot
being removed.  The source of the bug is unknown at this time, and root
causing the issue will likely be a slow process.  In the short term, fix
the regression by zapping all SPTEs when removing a memslot from a VM
with assigned device(s).

Fixes: 4e103134b862 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot", 2019-02-05)

An alternative idea to a full revert.  I assume this would be easy to
backport, and also easy to revert or quirk depending on where the bug
is hiding.
