Hmm this seems to be working thanks Paolo. To lock I have been using:
...
if (mutex_lock_killable_nested(
&vcpu->mutex, i * SEV_NR_MIGRATION_ROLES + role))
goto out_unlock;
mutex_release(&vcpu->mutex.dep_map, _THIS_IP_);
...
To unlock:
...
mutex_acquire(&vcpu->mutex.dep_map, 0, 0, _THIS_IP_);
mutex_unlock(&vcpu->mutex);
...
If I understand correctly we are fully disabling lockdep by doing
this. If this is the case should I just remove all the '_nested' usage
so switch to mutex_lock_killable() and remove the per vCPU subclass?
