The kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests() is called with SRCU read lock held
and for KVM_REQ_SLEEP request it will block the VCPU without releasing
SRCU read lock. This causes KVM ioctls (such as KVM_IOEVENTFD) from
other VCPUs of the same Guest/VM to hang/deadlock if there is any
synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_srcu_expedited() in the path.
To fix the above in kvm_riscv_check_vcpu_requests(), we should do SRCU
read unlock before blocking the VCPU and do SRCU read lock after VCPU
wakeup.

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.
