* [PATCH v6 2/8] KVM: arm/arm64: Factor out functionality to get vgic mmio requester_vcpu
From: Christoffer Dall @ 2017-12-04 20:05 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel
In-Reply-To: <20171204200506.3224-1-cdall@kernel.org>

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

We are about to distinguish between userspace accesses and mmio traps
for a number of the mmio handlers.  When the requester vcpu is NULL, it
mens we are handling a userspace acccess.

Factor out the functionality to get the request vcpu into its own
function, mostly so we have a common place to document the semantics of
the return value.

Also take the chance to move the functionality outside of holding a
spinlock and instead explicitly disable and enable preemption.  This
supports PREEMPT_RT kernels as well.
