[PATCH v2 1/6] KVM: arm64: ptdump: Remove shadow ptdump files

Tue Jun 30 05:10:00 PDT 2026


Previously we exposed shadow page tables by creating a debugfs ptdump
file whenever a nested mmu instance gets bound to a new context, and
deleting the debugfs file whose context was getting unbound.

This turned out to be buggy, as the instance<->context binding process
is done with the mmu_lock held, and debugfs creation/deletion can sleep.

Revert most of commit 19e15dc73f0f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page
tables in debugfs"), keep the "nested" debugfs directory for use in a
later patch where we'll expose the shadow ptdump in another way.

Fixes: 19e15dc73f0f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page tables in debugfs")
