The above functions seem to be called with the lock of this
auto-generated
mdev parent device held. That's why we don't have to care about
synchronization
ourselves, right?
I would assume as much. The comments for the 'struct mdev_parent_ops' in
include/linux/mdev.h do not mention anything about synchronization, nor
did I
see any locking or synchronization in the vfio_ccw implementation after
which
I modeled my code, so frankly it is something I did not consider.
A small comment in the code could be helpful for mdev non-experts.
Hell, I would
even consider documenting it for all mdev -- took me some time to
figure out.
You may want to bring this up with the VFIO mdev maintainers, but I'd be
happy to
include a comment in the functions in question if you think it important.

What is this for? I don't understand.
To control the number of mediated devices one can create for the matrix
device.
Once the max is reached, the mdev framework will not allow creation of
another
mediated device until one is removed. This counter keeps track of the number
of instances that can be created. This is documented with the mediated
framework. You may want to take a look at:
Documentation/vfio-mediated-device.txt
Documentation/vfio.txt
Documentation/virtual/kvm/devices/vfio.txt
