- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
i.e. to prevent a use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead
of gifting the worker a reference, e.g. so that there's no need to remember
to *conditionally* clean up after the worker.

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-asyncpf-6.9' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM async page fault changes for 6.9:
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
i.e. to prevent a use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead

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.
