make_mmu_pages_available() must be called with mmu_lock held for write.
However, if the TDP MMU is used, it will be called with mmu_lock held for
read.
This function does nothing unless shadow pages are used, so there is no
race unless nested TDP is used.
Since nested TDP uses shadow pages, old shadow pages may be zapped by this
function even when the TDP MMU is enabled.
Since shadow pages are never allocated by kvm_tdp_mmu_map(), a race
condition can be avoided by not calling make_mmu_pages_available() if the
TDP MMU is currently in use.
I encountered this when repeatedly starting and stopping nested VM.
It can be artificially caused by allocating a large number of nested TDP
SPTEs.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is i
