From 4265df667bbdc71c640e43c905bd9aeeead92365 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peng Hao Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 11:50:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Keep the lock order consistent between SRCU and gpc spinlock Acquire SRCU before taking the gpc spinlock in wait_pending_event() so as to be consistent with all other functions that acquire both locks. It's not illegal to acquire SRCU inside a spinlock, nor is there deadlock potential, but in general it's preferable to order locks from least restrictive to most restrictive, e.g. if wait_pending_event() needed to sleep for whatever reason, it could do so while holding SRCU, but would need to drop the spinlock.
