Subject[PATCH 0/3] KVM: kvm_create_vm() bug fixes and cleanup
From
Fix two (embarassing) bugs in kvm_create_vm() where KVM fails to properly
unwind VM creation, which most often manifests as a not-present page fault
due to use-after-free when walking the global vm_list (VM is added and
freed, but never removed from the list). Patch 3 is a loosely related
clean up.

I discovered the try_get_module() bug by inspection[*]. syzkaller found
the debugfs around the same time.

The try_get_module() bug is especially bad/amusing. The "rmmod --wait"
behavior KVM is trying to handle was removed ~9 years ago...

Sean Christopherson (3):
KVM: Properly unwind VM creation if creating debugfs fails
KVM: Unconditionally get a ref to /dev/kvm module when creating a VM
KVM: Move coalesced MMIO initialization (back) into kvm_create_vm()
