    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use new mutex to synchronize MMU setup · 0d4ee88d
    Paul Mackerras authored
    Currently the HV KVM code uses kvm->lock in conjunction with a flag,
    kvm->arch.mmu_ready, to synchronize MMU setup and hold off vcpu
    execution until the MMU-related data structures are ready.  However,
    this means that kvm->lock is being taken inside vcpu->mutex, which
    is contrary to Documentation/virtual/kvm/locking.txt and results in
    lockdep warnings.
    
    To fix this, we add a new mutex, kvm->arch.mmu_setup_lock, which nests
    inside the vcpu mutexes, and is taken in the places where kvm->lock
    was taken that are related to MMU setup.
    
    Additionally we take the new mutex in the vcpu creation code at the
    point where we are creating a new vcore, in order to provide mutual
    exclusion with kvmppc_update_lpcr() and ensure that an update to
    kvm->arch.lpcr doesn't get missed, which could otherwise lead to a
    stale vcore->lpcr value.
