I use those in the next patch, it's not in kvm_mmu_zap_page(), it's used like:

hold mmu spin lock

kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page page A
kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page page B
kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page page C
......
kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page

release mmu spin lock

This patch is very simple and kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() function should depend on
kvm->arch.invalid_mmu_pages, so i think we on need separate this patch, your opinion? :-)

Thanks,
Xiao
