KVM: x86/mmu: Preserve nested TDP shadow page tables if they are used as roots
kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() excludes a shadow page whose root_count is non-zero from top-level reclaim, because such a page cannot be freed. The path in mmu_page_zap_pte() that recursively zaps a parentless nested TDP child has no such check. As a result, a shadow page can be zapped even if the page itself can't be freed; as the comment in kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() notes, zapping it will just force vCPUs to rebuild the page. As in top-level reclaim, do not recursively prepare zapping of a nested TDP child whose root_count is non-zero. Fixes: 2de4085cccea ("KVM: x86/MMU: Recursively zap nested TDP SPs when zapping last/only parent") Signed-off-by: Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
