SubjectRe: [PATCH] kvm/vfio: Fix potential deadlock on vfio group_lock
From
I encountered a lockdep splat while running some regression tests today 
(see below). I suspected it might be this patch so I reverted it,
rebuilt the kernel and ran the regression tests again; this time, the
test ran cleanly. It looks like this patch may not have fixed the
problem for which it was intended. Here is the relevant dmesg output:
