To change the active state of an MMIO, halt is requested for all vcpus of the affected guest before modifying the IRQ state. This is done by calling cond_resched_lock() in vgic_mmio_change_active(). However interrupts are disabled at this point and running a vcpu cannot get rescheduled.
"running a vcpu cannot get rescheduled" ?
Solve this by waiting for all vcpus to be halted after emmiting the halt request.
Fixes commit 6c1b7521f4a07cc63bbe2dfe290efed47cdb780a ("KVM: arm/arm64: Factor out functionality to get vgic mmio requester_vcpu")

We used to have something like this which Andre then found out it could deadlock the system, because the VCPU making this request wouldn't have called kvm_arch_vcpu_put, and its cpu value would still have a value.
That's why we have the vcpu && vcpu != requester check.
Ah, I now remember that one. I guess it is a matter of skipping the requester vcpu in the kvm_for_each_vcpu loop.
Thanks,
