    KVM: x86/mmu: Tear down roots before kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast returns · 4c6654bd
    Ben Gardon authored
    To avoid saddling a vCPU thread with the work of tearing down an entire
    paging structure, take a reference on each root before they become
    obsolete, so that the thread initiating the fast invalidation can tear
    down the paging structure and (most likely) release the last reference.
    As a bonus, this teardown can happen under the MMU lock in read mode so
    as not to block the progress of vCPU threads.
