Use a rw_semaphore instead of a mutex to coordinate APICv updates so that vCPUs responding to requests can take the lock for read and run in parallel. Using a mutex forces serialization of vCPUs even though kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() only touches data local to that vCPU or is protected by a different lock, e.g. SVM's ir_list_lock.

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.
