Ben Gardon 85f4ff2b06 KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure forward progress when yielding in TDP MMU iter 
[ Upstream commit ed5e484b79 ]

In some functions the TDP iter risks not making forward progress if two
threads livelock yielding to one another. This is possible if two threads
are trying to execute wrprot_gfn_range. Each could write protect an entry
and then yield. This would reset the tdp_iter's walk over the paging
structure and the loop would end up repeating the same entry over and
over, preventing either thread from making forward progress.

Fix this issue by only yielding if the loop has made forward progress
since the last yield.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
