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.

For the duration of mapping eVMCS, it derefences ->memslots without holding
->srcu or ->slots_lock when accessing hv assist page. This patch fixes it by
moving nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow to prepare_guest_switch, where the SRCU
is already taken.
It can be reproduced by running kvm's evmcs_test selftest.
