From 7889ddde2798154828d49da8d7c8863b7573e62d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Matlack Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2014 16:03:25 -0700 Subject: kvm: don't take vcpu mutex for obviously invalid vcpu ioctls commit 2ea75be3219571d0ec009ce20d9971e54af96e09 upstream. vcpu ioctls can hang the calling thread if issued while a vcpu is running. However, invalid ioctls can happen when userspace tries to probe the kind of file descriptors (e.g. isatty() calls ioctl(TCGETS)); in that case, we know the ioctl is going to be rejected as invalid anyway and we can fail before trying to take the vcpu mutex. This patch does not change functionality, it just makes invalid ioctls fail faster.
