There is no need to copy the whole memslot data after releasing slots_arch_lock for a moment to install temporary memslots copy in kvm_set_memslot() since this lock only protects the arch field of each memslot. Just resync this particular field after reacquiring slots_arch_lock. Note, this also eliminates the need to manually clear the INVALID flag when restoring memslots; the "setting" of the INVALID flag was an unwanted side effect of copying the entire memslots. Since kvm_copy_memslots() has just one caller remaining now open-code it instead. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

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.
