Assert that mmu_lock is held for write by users of the yield-unfriendly TDP iterator. The nature of a shared walk means that the caller needs to play nice with other tasks modifying the page tables, which is more or less the same thing as playing nice with yielding. Theoretically, KVM could gain a flow where it could legitimately take mmu_lock for read in a non-preemptible context, but that's highly unlikely and any such case should be viewed with a fair amount of scrutiny.

README
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.
