[PATCH 3.19 024/177] KVM: s390: no need to hold the kvm->mutex for floating interrupts

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat May 02 2015 - 16:51:04 EST


3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 69a8d456263849152826542c7cb0a164b90e68a8 upstream.

The kvm mutex was (probably) used to protect against cpu hotplug.
The current code no longer needs to protect against that, as we only
rely on CPU data structures that are guaranteed to be available
if we can access the CPU. (e.g. vcpu_create will put the cpu
in the array AFTER the cpu is ready).
