[PATCH v3] KVM: SEV: Mark nested locking of vcpu->lock

From: Peter Gonda
Date: Thu Apr 07 2022 - 16:37:30 EST


svm_vm_migrate_from() uses sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration() to lock all
source and target vcpu->locks. Mark the nested subclasses to avoid false
positives from lockdep.

Warning example:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.17.0-dbg-DEV #15 Tainted: G O
--------------------------------------------
sev_migrate_tes/18859 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8d672d484238 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration+0x7e/0x150
but task is already holding lock:
ffff8d67703f81f8 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration+0x7e/0x150
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&vcpu->mutex);
lock(&vcpu->mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
3 locks held by sev_migrate_tes/18859:
#0: ffff9302f91323b8 (&kvm->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sev_vm_move_enc_context_from+0x96/0x740
#1: ffff9302f906a3b8 (&kvm->lock/1){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sev_vm_move_enc_context_from+0xae/0x740
#2: ffff8d67703f81f8 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration+0x7e/0x150

V3
* Updated signature to enum to self-document argument.
* Updated comment as Seanjc@ suggested.

Tested by running sev_migrate_tests with lockdep enabled. Before we see
a warning from sev_lock_vcpus_for_migration(). After we get no warnings.
