commit f003277311 upstream.
Almost all of the vgic state is VM-scoped but accessed from the context
of a vCPU. These accesses were serialized on the kvm->lock which cannot
be nested within a vcpu->mutex critical section.
Move over the vgic state to using the config_lock. Tweak the lock
ordering where necessary to ensure that the config_lock is acquired
after the vcpu->mutex. Acquire the config_lock in kvm_vgic_create() to
avoid a race between the converted flows and GIC creation. Where
necessary, continue to acquire kvm->lock to avoid a race with vCPU
creation (i.e. flows that use lock_all_vcpus()).
Finally, promote the locking expectations in comments to lockdep
assertions and update the locking documentation for the config_lock as
well as vcpu->mutex.

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.
