kvm_read_guest() will eventually look up in kvm_memslots(), which requires either to hold the kvm->slots_lock or to be inside a kvm->srcu critical section. In contrast to x86 and s390 we don't take the SRCU lock on every guest exit, so we have to do it individually for each kvm_read_guest() call. Provide a wrapper which does that and use that everywhere. Note that ending the SRCU critical section before returning from the kvm_read_guest() wrapper is safe, because the data has been *copied*, so we don't need to rely on valid references to the memslot anymore.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
