This patch changes the way that lock all vqs
at the same, to lock them one by one. It will
be used for next patch to avoid the deadlock.

This seems to introduce a deadlock (and sleep-in-atomic): the vq->mutex
is taken while the IOTLB spinlock is held (taken earlier in
vhost_iotlb_notify_vq()). On the vhost_iotlb_miss() path, the IOTLB
spinlock is taken while the vq->mutex is held.


Good catch.


I'm not sure how to fix it. Given that we're holding dev->mutex, that
vq->poll only seems to be modified under dev->mutex, and assuming that
vhost_poll_queue(vq->poll) can be called concurrently, is it safe to
simply not take vq->mutex here?


Yes, I think it can be removed here.

Want to post a patch for this?

Thanks


Thanks,
Jean
