I must be missing something, isn't this a use-after-free?

mdev_state is allocated via vfio_alloc_device(), where vdev is the
first entry in that structure, so this is equivalent to
kvfree(mdev_state).  mbochs has the same issue.  mdpy and vfio-ap
adjust global counters after vfio_free_device(), which I think muddies
the situation.  Shouldn't we look suspiciously at any .release callback
where vfio_free_device() isn't the last thing executed?  Thanks,

Alex
