Many TDP MMU functions which need to perform some action on all TDP MMU roots hold a reference on that root so that they can safely drop the MMU lock in order to yield to other threads. However, when releasing the reference on the root, there is a bug: the root will not be freed even if its reference count (root_count) is reduced to 0. To simplify acquiring and releasing references on TDP MMU root pages, and to ensure that these roots are properly freed, move the get/put operations into another TDP MMU root iterator macro. Moving the get/put operations into an iterator macro also helps simplify control flow when a root does need to be freed. Note that using the list_for_each_entry_safe macro would not have been appropriate in this situation because it could keep a pointer to the next root across an MMU lock release + reacquire, during which time that root could be freed.

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.
