You seem to take only kvm->lock, vm_list however (used in
kvm_ap_validate_queue_sharing()) seems to be protected by
kvm_lock.

Can you tell me why is this supposed to be safe?

What is supposed to prevent an execution like
vm1: call kvm_ap_configure_matrix(m1)
vm2: call kvm_ap_configure_matrix(m2)
vm1: call kvm_ap_validate_queue_sharing(m1)
vm2: call kvm_ap_validate_queue_sharing(m2)
vm1: call kvm_ap_set_crycb_masks(m1)
vm2: call kvm_ap_set_crycb_masks(m2)

where, let's say, m1 and m2 are equal in the sense that the
mask values are the same?
