Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Radim Krčmář: "KVM: - lock kvm_device list to prevent corruption on device creation. PPC: - split debugfs initialization from creation of the xics device to unlock the newly taken kvm lock earlier. s390: - prevent userspace from triggering two WARN_ON_ONCE. MIPS: - fix several issues in the management of TLB faults (Cc: stable)" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: MIPS: KVM: Propagate kseg0/mapped tlb fault errors MIPS: KVM: Fix gfn range check in kseg0 tlb faults MIPS: KVM: Add missing gfn range check MIPS: KVM: Fix mapped fault broken commpage handling KVM: Protect device ops->create and list_add with kvm->lock KVM: PPC: Move xics_debugfs_init out of create KVM: s390: reset KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD if mapping the prefix failed KVM: s390: set the prefix initially properly
