When write-protecting SPTEs, don't process invalid roots as invalid roots are unreachable, i.e. can't be used to access guest memory and thus don't need to be write-protected. Note, this is *almost* a nop for kvm_tdp_mmu_clear_dirty_pt_masked(), which is called under slots_lock, i.e. is mutually exclusive with kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(). But it's possible for something other than the "fast zap" thread to grab a reference to an invalid root and thus keep a root alive (but completely empty) after kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() completes. The kvm_tdp_mmu_write_protect_gfn() case is more interesting as KVM write- protects SPTEs for reasons other than dirty logging, e.g. if a KVM creates a SPTE for a nested VM while a fast zap is in-progress. Add another TDP MMU iterator to visit only valid roots, and opportunistically convert kvm_tdp_mmu_get_vcpu_root_hpa() to said iterator.

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.
