Could the the path t1 takes simply hold the mutex for the duration of
its execution instead of dropping and reacquiring it in the middle?

Here's the relevant code from vas_allocate_window():

	mutex_lock(&vas_pseries_mutex);
	if (migration_in_progress)
		rc = -EBUSY;
	else
		rc = allocate_setup_window(txwin, (u64 *)&domain[0],
				   cop_feat_caps->win_type);
	mutex_unlock(&vas_pseries_mutex);
	if (rc)
		goto out;

	rc = h_modify_vas_window(txwin);
	if (!rc)
		rc = get_vas_user_win_ref(&txwin->vas_win.task_ref);
	if (rc)
		goto out_free;

	txwin->win_type = cop_feat_caps->win_type;
	mutex_lock(&vas_pseries_mutex);
	if (!caps->nr_close_wins) {
		list_add(&txwin->win_list, &caps->list);
		caps->nr_open_windows++;
		mutex_unlock(&vas_pseries_mutex);
		vas_user_win_add_mm_context(&txwin->vas_win.task_ref);
		return &txwin->vas_win;
	}
	mutex_unlock(&vas_pseries_mutex);

Is there something about h_modify_vas_window() or get_vas_user_win_ref()
that requires temporarily dropping the lock?
