[PATCH 2/2] KVM: s390: pci: use asyncronous kvm put

From: Matthew Rosato
Date: Mon Jan 09 2023 - 15:11:32 EST


It's possible that the kvm refcount will reach 0 at this point while the
associated device is still in kvm device list - this would result in a
deadlock on the vfio group lock. Avoid this possibility by using
kvm_put_kvm_async to do the kvm_destroy_vm asynchronously.
