With the patch:

Well with the patch applied, the VM works fine without the stuff protected
by the spin_lock_irqsave(), then without the patch why simply printing a
warning makes the VM dumb, given the warning is there actually also preventing
you from touching the lock.


If the warning is triggered, eventfd_signal will not do the wakeup.
