This races with the EPOLLHUP path in mshv_irqfd_wakeup(),\nwhich does take the lock before calling mshv_irqfd_deactivate().\n\nAdditionally, mshv_irqfd_deactivate() uses hlist_del() which poisons\nthe node pointers rather than resetting them. Since\nmshv_irqfd_is_active() relies on hlist_unhashed() (checks pprev ==\nNULL), a poisoned node still appears active. If a concurrent path calls\nmshv_irqfd_deactivate() again on the same irqfd, the guard fails to\nprevent a double hlist_del() on poisoned pointers.\n\nFix both issues:\n- Add the missing spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq around the list\n  traversal in mshv_irqfd_deassign(), matching mshv_irqfd_release().\n- Use hlist_del_init() instead of hlist_del() so the node is properly\n  marked as unhashed after removal, making the is_active guard reliable."
