KVM: x86/mmu: Update number of zapped pages even if page list is stable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When zapping obsolete pages, update the running count of zapped pages
regardless of whether or not the list has become unstable due to zapping
a shadow page with its own child shadow pages.  If the VM is backed by
mostly 4kb pages, KVM can zap an absurd number of SPTEs without bumping
the batch count and thus without yielding.  In the worst case scenario,
this can cause a soft lokcup.
