The one place that doesn't need to worry about it is resume, as resuming a frozen CPU, the spinlock won't be taken." However, commit 6706dae9 (virt/kvm: Replace spin_is_locked() with lockdep) introduces a bug, it asserts when the lock is not held which is contrary to the original goal. This patch fixes it by WARN_ON when the lock is held. Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Paul E.
