      KVM: Convert kvm_lock back to non-raw spinlock · 2f303b74
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      
      In commit e935b837 ("KVM: Convert kvm_lock to raw_spinlock"),
      the kvm_lock was made a raw lock.  However, the kvm mmu_shrink()
      function tries to grab the (non-raw) mmu_lock within the scope of
      the raw locked kvm_lock being held.  This leads to the following:
      
      BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659

      After the previous patch, kvm_lock need not be a raw spinlock anymore,
      so change it back.

      KVM: protect kvm_usage_count with its own spinlock · 4a937f96
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      
      The VM list need not be protected by a raw spinlock.  Separate the
      two so that kvm_lock can be made non-raw.
