When kvm_mmu_get_page() gets a page with unsynced children, the spt pagetable is unsynchronized with the guest pagetable. But the guest might not issue a "flush" operation on it when the pagetable entry is changed from zero or other cases. The hypervisor has the responsibility to synchronize the pagetables. KVM behaved as above for many years, But commit8c8560b833("KVM: x86/mmu: Use KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT for MMU specific flushes") inadvertently included a line of code to change it without giving any reason in the changelog. It is clear that the commit's intention was to change KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH -> KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT, so we don't needlessly flush other contexts; however, one of the hunks changed a nearby KVM_REQ_MMU_SYNC instead. This patch changes it back.

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.
