Bail from the page fault handler if the root shadow page was obsoleted by
a memslot update. Do the check _after_ acuiring mmu_lock, as the TDP MMU
doesn't rely on the memslot/MMU generation, and instead relies on the
root being explicit marked invalid by kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(), which takes
mmu_lock for write.
For the TDP MMU, inserting a SPTE into an obsolete root can leak a SP if
kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_invalidated_roots() has already zapped the SP, i.e. has
moved past the gfn associated with the SP.
For other MMUs, the resulting behavior is far more convoluted, though
unlikely to be truly problematic. Installing SPs/SPTEs into the obsolete
root isn't directly problematic, as the obsolete root will be unloaded
and dropped before the vCPU re-enters the guest. But because the legacy
MMU tracks shadow pages by their role, any SP created by the fault can
can be reused in the new post-reload root. Again, that _shouldn't_ be
problematic as any leaf child SPTEs will be created for the current/valid
memslot generation, and kvm_mmu_get_page() will not reuse child SPs from
the old generation as they will be flagged as obsolete. But, given that
continuing with the fault is pointess (the root will be unloaded), apply
the check to all MMUs.

README
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.
