This series switches kvm_io_device to slots_lock from kvm->lock mutex, and uses that to rework io bus API. This takes less locks on data path, and uses less lines of code. These changes will also be useful to serve as basis for Greg's iosignalfd work. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This works for me, but please review carefully. Changes since v3: Fix bug noticed by Marcelo Switch pit creation to slots_lock Add unlocked variant for bus changes: in use by pit More documentation Changes since v2: I have split the patch and reworked along the lines suggested by Avi.
