Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The splat below can be seen when running kvm-unit-test:

     =============================
     WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
     5.18.0-rc7 #5 Tainted: G          IOE
     -----------------------------
     /home/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c:80 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

     other info that might help us debug this:

     rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
     4 locks held by qemu-system-x86/35124:

resampler-list is protected by irq_srcu (see kvm_irqfd_assign), so fix
the false positive by using list_for_each_entry_srcu().
