I don't think iommu-sva.c is the best place for this, it's probably
better to implement an intermediate layer (the mediating driver), that
calls iommu_sva_device_init() and iommu_sva_device_shutdown() once. Then
vfio-pci would still call these functions itself, but for mdev the
mediating driver keeps a refcount of groups, and calls device_shutdown()
only when freeing the last mdev.
A device driver (non mdev in this example) expects to be able to free
all its resources after sva_device_shutdown() returns. Imagine the
mm_list isn't empty (mm_exit() is running late), and instead of waiting
in unbind_dev_all() below, we return 0 immediately. Then the calling
driver frees its resources, and the mm_exit callback along with private
data passed to bind() disappear. If a mm_exit() is still running in
parallel, then it will try to access freed data and corrupt memory. So
in this function if mm_list isn't empty, the only thing we can do is wait.
Thanks,
