    Revert "x86/mm: Introduce lookup_address_in_mm()" · 643d95aa
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Drop lookup_address_in_mm() now that KVM is providing it's own variant
    of lookup_address_in_pgd() that is safe for use with user addresses, e.g.
    guards against page tables being torn down.  A variant that provides a
    non-init mm is inherently dangerous and flawed, as the only reason to use
    an mm other than init_mm is to walk a userspace mapping, and
    lookup_address_in_pgd() does not play nice with userspace mappings, e.g.
    doesn't disable IRQs to block TLB shootdowns and doesn't use READ_ONCE()
    to ensure an upper level entry isn't converted to a huge page between
    checking the PAGE_SIZE bit and grabbing the address of the next level
    down.
    
    This reverts commit 13c72c06.
