Because this code was written before we fixed the TLB invalidation race.

Yeah, the thing is having a funciton here requires us to pass in a bunch
of things, an either return the next addr or pass that by reference, and
while it does save a few lines, I found the code harder to read. This
is another option:
static void unmap_range(struct kvm *kvm, pgd_t *pgdp,
unsigned long long start, u64 size)
{
pgd_t *pgd;
pud_t *pud;
pmd_t *pmd;
pte_t *pte;
unsigned long long addr = start, end = start + size;
u64 next;
while (addr < end) {
pgd = pgdp + pgd_index(addr);
pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
if (pud_none(*pud)) {
addr = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
continue;
}
if (pud_huge(*pud)) {
/*
* If we are dealing with a huge pud, just clear it and
* move on.
*/
clear_pud_entry(kvm, pud, addr);
addr = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
continue;
}
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
if (pmd_none(*pmd)) {
addr = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);
continue;
}
if (!kvm_pmd_huge(*pmd)) {
pte = pte_offset_kernel(pmd, addr);
clear_pte_entry(kvm, pte, addr);
next = addr + PAGE_SIZE;
}
/*
* If the pmd entry is to be cleared, walk back up the ladder
*/
if (kvm_pmd_huge(*pmd) || page_empty(pte)) {
clear_pmd_entry(kvm, pmd, addr);
next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);
if (page_empty(pmd) && !page_empty(pud)) {
clear_pud_entry(kvm, pud, addr);
next = pud_addr_end(addr, end);
}
}
addr = next;

We can share it, much nicer actually:

We didn't need it the way the code was structured in the initial
verison, but we do with sharing the code with stage2_set_pte (see
above).

It doesn't, the gfn_to_pfn_prot call should be moved below the smp_rmb,
I must have simply messed this up when rebasing the patch. Nice catch!

Steve answered this one, but the point is that any page in this pmd
cannot be allocated from anywhere, because those pages are not free. At
this point, if the anon user page is mapped as a THP, it will stay as
such until we unlock the mmu_lock.

Sure, I can split them up. I'm going to send out a v2 with the split
patches so you can read that in its completeness instead of the
