Add helpers allowing the hypervisor to check whether a range of pages are currently shared by the host, and 'pin' them if so by blocking host unshare operations until the memory has been unpinned. This will allow the hypervisor to take references on host-provided data-structures (e.g. 'struct kvm') with the guarantee that these pages will remain in a stable state until the hypervisor decides to release them, for example during guest teardown.

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.
