[PATCH Maverick, Lucid] UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/paravirt: Partially revert "remove lazy mode in interrupts"

[Stefan Bader]

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk at oracle.com>

which has git commit b8bcfe997e46150fedcc3f5b26b846400122fdd9.

The unintended consequence of removing the flushing of MMU
updates when doing kmap_atomic (or kunmap_atomic) is that we can
hit a dereference bug when processing a "fork()" under a heavy loaded
machine. Specifically we can hit:

The problem looks that in copy_page_range we turn lazy mode on, and then
in swap_entry_free we call swap_count_continued which ends up in:

         map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;

and then later touches *map.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the
PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up
trying to dereference a page that has not been set.

Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn, it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and
sprinkling that in kmap_atomic_prot and __kunmap_atomic makes the problem
go away.
