Use a dedicated mutex to guard kvm_usage_count to fix a potential deadlock
on x86 due to a chain of locks and SRCU synchronizations.  Translating the
below lockdep splat, CPU1 #6 will wait on CPU0 #1, CPU0 #8 will wait on
CPU2 #3, and CPU2 #7 will wait on CPU1 #4 (if there's a writer, due to the
fairness of r/w semaphores).

    CPU0                     CPU1                     CPU2
1   lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
2                                                     lock(&vcpu->mutex);
3                                                     lock(&kvm->srcu);
4                            lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
5                            lock(kvm_lock);
6                            lock(&kvm->slots_lock);
7                                                     lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
8   sync(&kvm->srcu);

Note, there are likely more potential deadlocks in KVM x86, e.g. the same
pattern of taking cpu_hotplug_lock outside of kvm_lock likely exists with
__kvmclock_cpufreq_notifier(), but actually triggering such deadlocks is
beyond rare due to the combination of dependencies and timings involved.
E.g. the cpufreq notifier is only used on older CPUs without a constant
TSC, mucking with the NX hugepage mitigation while VMs are running is very
uncommon, and doing so while also onlining/offlining a CPU (necessary to
generate contention on cpu_hotplug_lock) would be even more unusual.

I think this sentence should be improved to at least mention "Exists
because using kvm_lock leads to deadlock", just like the comment for
vendor_module_lock below.

Offhand I couldn't see any places where {,__}cpufreq_driver_target() is 
called within cpus_read_lock().  I didn't look too closely though.

Aha!  I think I finally found it and it's rather obvious now that I've found it.
I looked quite deeply on multiple occasions in the past and never found such a
case, but I could've sworn someone (Kai?) report a lockdep splat related to the
cpufreq stuff when I did the big generic hardware enabling a while back.  Of
course, I couldn't find that either :-)

Anyways...

Ah, I only looked in generic code.

Can you add a comment to the comment message suggesting switching the
vm_list to RCU? All the occurrences of list_for_each_entry(...,
&vm_list, ...) seem amenable to that, and it should be as easy to
stick all or part of kvm_destroy_vm() behind call_rcu().

Thanks,

Paolo

+1 to the idea of making vm_list RCU-protected, though I think we'd want to use
SRCU, e.g. set_nx_huge_pages() currently takes eash VM's slots_lock while purging
possible NX hugepages.

And I think kvm_destroy_vm() can simply do a synchronize_srcu() after removing
the VM from the list.  Trying to put kvm_destroy_vm() into an RCU callback would
probably be a bit of a disaster, e.g. kvm-intel.ko in particular currently does
some rather nasty things while destory a VM.

Ah, for that I was thinking of wrapping everything with
kvm_get_kvm_safe()/rcu_read_unlock() and kvm_put_kvm/rcu_read_lock().
Avoiding zero refcounts is safer and generally these visits are not
hot code.

If all iteration is guarded by kvm_get_kvm_safe(), probably you can
defer only the reclaiming part  (i.e. the part after
kvm_destroy_devices()) which is a lot easier to audit.

Anyhow, I took a look at the v2 and it looks good.
