When somebody reports a problem, I need to know if it's this known one. I've pulled it, but you really need to add a pointer to "look, this is the known one, we have a fix in the works" Linus

It's a NULL pointer dereference on VM shutdown, caused by the selftests added by commit b4ed2c67d275 ("KVM: selftests: Test slot move/delete with slot zap quirk enabled/disabled"). It's also not reproducible yet outside selftests since the bug is in a new API; which is also why we didn't revert with prejudice and didn't go too much into detail above. Paolo
