Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Fix SRCU deadlock caused by kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests()
Date:   Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:41:05 +0530
Message-Id: <20220710151105.687193-1-apatel@ventanamicro.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

The kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests() is called with SRCU read lock held
and for KVM_REQ_SLEEP request it will block the VCPU without releasing
SRCU read lock. This causes KVM ioctls (such as KVM_IOEVENTFD) from
other VCPUs of the same Guest/VM to hang/deadlock if there is any
synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_srcu_expedited() in the path.

To fix the above in kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests(), we should do SRCU
read unlock before blocking the VCPU and do SRCU read lock after VCPU
wakeup.

Fixes: cce69aff689e ("RISC-V: KVM: Implement VCPU interrupts and
requests handling")
