Hello everyone,
I got a warning as below which is a AB-BA deadlock issue. But I don't understand
how the 'existing dependency' happened.
It looks like: kvm_read_guest() held (&mm->mmap_sem), then reading userspace memory
(which is not ready yet) caused page_fault() invoked, then in i915_gem_fault()
it tries to hold (&dev->struct_mutex).
But this sequence must haven't happened. Otherwise, double-lock already happed,
since intel_vgpu_create_workload() has held (&dev->struct_mutex) already:
(&dev->struct_mutex)->(&mm->mmap_sem)->(&dev->struct_mutex)
So how could lockdep find such 'existing dependency'? Thanks!
