Commit Message

Zhu, Lingshan Sept. 7, 2020, 10:52 a.m. UTC
In vhost_vdpa ioctl SET_BACKEND_FEATURES path, currect code
would try to acquire vhost dev mutex twice
(first shown in vhost_vdpa_unlocked_ioctl), which can lead
to a dead lock issue.
This commit removed mutex operations in vhost_set_backend_features.
As a compensation for vhost_net, a followinig commit will add
needed mutex lock/unlock operations in a new function
vhost_net_set_backend_features() which is a wrap of
vhost_set_backend_features().

I think you need to squash these two or reorder, we can't first
make code racy then fix it up.
