[PATCH 0/4] Fix racing TLBI with ASID/VMID reallocation

Hi all,

While reviewing Shameer's reworked VMID allocator [1] and discussing
with Marc, we spotted a race between TLB invalidation (which typically
takes an ASID or VMID argument) and reallocation of ASID/VMID for the
context being targetted.

The first patch spells out an example with try_to_unmap_one() in a
comment, which Catalin has kindly modelled in TLA+ at [2].

Although I'm posting all this together for ease of review, the intention
is that the first patch will go via arm64 with the latter going via kvm.

Cheers,

Will
