Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kvm: Fixes for race conditions


The two patches here fixes race conditions in the KVM hypervisor code
dealing with the shadow MMU.

The first one applies to core KVM code where mmu_notifier->ops.release()
could be called twice with one instance possibily accessing a free'd KVM
instance. Reported here :

The second patch is specific to arm/arm64 stage2 PGD, where there are issues
with modifications to the PGD pointer outside the mmu_lock, leading to crashes.
Reported here :
