Subject: [PATCH 13/13] migration/vfio: Drop BQL dependency for loadvm SWITCHOVER_START
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 15:26:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022192612.2737648-14-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251022192612.2737648-1-peterx@redhat.com>

That was there only because we used to do loadvm in a coroutine on the main
thread with BQL held, while there was a locking order issue.

Now make the API to not depend on BQL anymore.  Instead making sure we
don't take BQL invoking switchover_start() hooks.
