[Qemu-devel] [PULL 4/8] s390x/kvm: Fix potential deadlock in sigp handling

[Christian Borntraeger]

If two VCPUs exit at the same time and target each other
with a sigp, both could run into a deadlock as run_on_cpu
on CPU0 will free the BQL when starting the CPU1 target routine.
CPU1 will run its sigp initiater for CPU0 before handling
the run_on_cpu requests, thus resulting in a dead lock.

As all qemu SIGPs are slow path anway we can use a big sigp
lock and allow only one SIGP for the guest at a time. We will
return condition code 2 (BUSY) on contention to the guest.
