mainlining shenanigans
7e10b9a6da
The XICS-on-XIVE KVM device needs to allocate XIVE event queues when a priority is used by the OS. This is referred as EQ provisioning and it is done under the hood when : 1. a CPU is hot-plugged in the VM 2. the "set-xive" is called at VM startup 3. sources are restored at VM restore The kvm->lock mutex is used to protect the different XIVE structures being modified but in some contexts, kvm->lock is taken under the vcpu->mutex which is not permitted by the KVM locking rules. Introduce a new mutex 'lock' for the KVM devices for them to synchronize accesses to the XIVE device structures.

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.
