[ Upstream commit af9fb41ed315ce95f659f0b10b4d59a71975381d ]
If a device implementation crashes, virtio_uml will mark it
as dead by calling virtio_break_device() and scheduling the
work that will remove it.
This still seems like the right thing to do, but it's done
directly while reading the message, and if time-travel is
used, this is in the time-travel handler, outside of the
normal Linux machinery. Therefore, we cannot acquire locks
or do normal "linux-y" things because e.g. lockdep will be
confused about the context.
Move handling this situation out of the read function and
into the actual IRQ handler and response handling instead,
so that in the case of time-travel we don't call it in the
wrong context.
Chances are the system will still crash immediately, since
the device implementation crashing may also cause the time-
travel controller to go down, but at least all of that now
happens without strange warnings from lockdep.

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.
