The evtchnfd structure itself must be protected by either kvm->lock or
SRCU. Use the former in kvm_xen_eventfd_update(), since the lock is
being taken anyway; kvm_xen_hcall_evtchn_send() instead is a reader and
does not need kvm->lock, and is called in SRCU critical section from the
kvm_x86_handle_exit function.
It is also important to use rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() in
kvm_xen_hcall_evtchn_send(), because idr_remove() will *not*
use synchronize_srcu() to wait for readers to complete.
Remove a superfluous if (kvm) check before calling synchronize_srcu()
in kvm_xen_eventfd_deassign() where kvm has been dereferenced already.

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.
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.
