Commit9a6e7c3981(""KVM: async_pf: Fix #DF due to inject "Page not Present" and "Page Ready" exceptions simultaneously") added a protection against 'page ready' notification coming before 'page not present' is delivered. This situation seems to be impossible since commit2a266f2355("KVM MMU: check pending exception before injecting APF) which added 'vcpu->arch.exception.pending' check to kvm_can_do_async_pf. On x86, kvm_arch_async_page_present() has only one call site: kvm_check_async_pf_completion() loop and we only enter the loop when kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present(vcpu) which when async pf msr is enabled, translates into kvm_can_do_async_pf(). There is also one problem with the cancellation mechanism. We don't seem to check that the 'page not present' notification we're canceling matches the 'page ready' notification so in theory, we may erroneously drop two valid events. Revert the commit.

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.
