Subject: [PATCH 6/6] KVM: Drop hack that "manually" informs lockdep of kvm->lock vs. vcpu->mutex
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2024 08:04:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241009150455.1057573-7-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241009150455.1057573-1-seanjc@google.com>
Now that KVM takes vcpu->mutex inside kvm->lock when creating a vCPU, drop
the hack to manually inform lockdep of the kvm->lock => vcpu->mutex
ordering.
This effectively reverts commit 42a90008f890 ("KVM: Ensure lockdep knows
about kvm->lock vs. vcpu->mutex ordering rule").
