That's not too good because qemu_get_ram_ptr is a hot path for TCG.

Looks like qemu_get_ram_ptr isn't called from the source side code of
guest migration.

Right, but since you are accessing the list from both migration and non-migration threads, qemu_get_ram_ptr needs to take the ram_list lock. The ram_list and IO thread mutexes together protect the "next" member, and you need to hold them both when modifying the list.

See the reply to Marcelo for a proposed solution.
