When freeing the per-CPU user-return MSRs structures, WARN if any CPU has a registered notifier to help detect and/or debug potential use-after-free issues. The lifecycle of the notifiers is rather convoluted, and has several non-obvious paths where notifiers are unregistered, i.e. isn't exactly the most robust code possible. The notifiers they are registered on-demand in KVM, on the first WRMSR to a tracked register. _Usually_ the notifier is unregistered whenever the CPU returns to userspace. But because any given CPU isn't guaranteed to return to userspace, e.g. the CPU could be offlined before doing so, KVM also "drops", a.k.a. unregisters, the notifiers when virtualization is disabled on the CPU. Further complicating the unregister path is the fact that the calls to disable virtualization come from common KVM, and the per-CPU calls are guarded by a per-CPU flag (to harden _that_ code against bugs, e.g. due to mishandling reboot). Reboot/shutdown in particular is problematic, as KVM disables virtualization via IPI function call, i.e. from IRQ context, instead of using the cpuhp framework, which runs in task context. I.e. on reboot/shutdown, drop_user_return_notifiers() is called asynchronously. Forced reboot/shutdown is the most problematic scenario, as userspace tasks are not frozen before kvm_shutdown() is invoked, i.e. KVM could be actively manipulating the user-return MSR lists and/or notifiers when the IPI arrives. To a certain extent, all bets are off when userspace forces a reboot/shutdown, but KVM should at least avoid a use-after-free, e.g. to avoid crashing the kernel when trying to reboot.
