Subject: [PATCH v4 02/28] KVM: Rename kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl() to kvm_arch_vcpu_unlocked_ioctl()
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:09:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030200951.3402865-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251030200951.3402865-1-seanjc@google.com>
Rename the "async" ioctl API to "unlocked" so that upcoming usage in x86's
TDX code doesn't result in a massive misnomer. To avoid having to retry
SEAMCALLs, TDX needs to acquire kvm->lock *and* all vcpu->mutex locks, and
acquiring all of those locks after/inside the current vCPU's mutex is a
non-starter. However, TDX also needs to acquire the vCPU's mutex and load
the vCPU, i.e. the handling is very much not async to the vCPU.
No functional change intended.
