H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT handlers receive a page with up to 512 TCEs from
a guest. Although we verify correctness of TCEs before we do anything
with the existing tables, there is a small window when a check in
kvmppc_tce_validate might pass and right after that the guest alters
the page of TCEs, causing an early exit from the handler and leaving
srcu_read_lock(&vcpu->kvm->srcu) (virtual mode) or lock_rmap(rmap)
(real mode) locked.
This fixes the bug by jumping to the common exit code with an appropriate
unlock.

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.
