+
+From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
+
+Stable commit 8f4dc4e54eed ("KVM: arm64: Fix kernel BUG() due to bad
+backport of FPSIMD/SVE/SME fix") fixed a kernel BUG() caused by a bad
+backport of upstream commit fbc7e61195e2 ("KVM: arm64: Unconditionally
+save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state") by ensuring that softirqs are
+disabled/enabled across the fpsimd register save operation.
+
+Unfortunately, although this fixes the original issue, it can now lead
+to deadlock when re-enabling softirqs causes pending softirqs to be
+handled with locks already held:

+Take a tiny step towards the upstream fix in 9b19700e623f ("arm64:
+fpsimd: Drop unneeded 'busy' flag") by additionally disabling hardirqs
+while saving the fpsimd registers.
