[PATCH 10/19] KVM: mmu_shrink: kvm_mmu_zap_page requires slots_lock to be held

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Jul 15 2008 - 08:16:19 EST


From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

kvm_mmu_zap_page() needs slots lock held (rmap_remove->gfn_to_memslot,
for example).

Since kvm_lock spinlock is held in mmu_shrink(), do a non-blocking
down_read_trylock().

Untested.
