I just hit this using a v6.3-rc2 and a mainline kvmtool.
In my case, though, the guest does not even boot if I use more than 1 vcpu, which I suppose triggers effectively the reported possible deadlock, i.e.:
root/lkvm_master run -c 4 -m 4096 -k /root/Image_guest -d /root/disk_debian_buster_guest.img -p "loglevel=8" # lkvm run -k /root/Image_guest -m 4096 -c 4 --name guest-288 ....<HANGS FOREVER>
Thanks, Cristian
