Currently kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is called with the vcore lock held because it is called within a for_each_runnable_thread loop. However, we already unlock the vcore within kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() under certain circumstances, and this is safe because (a) any vcpus that become runnable and are added to the runnable set by kvmppc_run_vcpu() have their vcpu->arch.trap == 0 and can't actually run in the guest (because the vcore state is VCORE_EXITING), and (b) for_each_runnable_thread is safe against addition or removal of vcpus from the runnable set. Therefore, in order to simplify things for following patches, let's drop the vcore lock in the for_each_runnable_thread loop, so kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() gets called without the vcore lock held.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
