Another ouch :-(
And there should be no need to acquire mmu_lock() unconditionally, the inode's
mutex protects the bindings, not mmu_lock.
I'll get a fix posted today. I think KVM can also add a sanity check to detect
unresolved invalidations, e.g.
diff --git a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c

The code is structured to allow for multiple gmem instances per inode. This isn't
actually possible in the initial code base, but it's on the horizon[*]. I included
the list-based infrastructure in this initial series to ensure that guest_memfd
can actually support multiple files per inode, and to minimize the churn when the
"link" support comes along.
