x86 mmiotrace: fix race with release_kmmio_fault_page()
There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in release_kmmio_fault_page(): cpu0 cpu1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ mmiotrace shutdown enter release_kmmio_fault_page fault on the page disarm the page disarm the page handle the MMIO access re-arm the page put the page on release list remove_kmmio_fault_pages() fault on the page page not known to mmiotrace fall back to do_page_fault() *KABOOM* (This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.) Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking if the page is being released from mmiotrace.
