One thing that came into my mind is that after this commit:
commit 5ce995f313ce56c0c62425c3ddc37c5c50fc33db

vhost: use mmgrab() instead of mmget() for non worker device
For the device that doesn't use vhost worker and use_mm(), mmget() is
too heavy weight and it may brings troubles for implementing mmap()
support for vDPA device.
We don't hold the address space after this commit, so the userspace
mapping could be invalid if the owner exits?
Thanks for mentioning it, I'll take a look at it!
In case maybe I should do a mmget (or get_task_mm) in vhost-vdpa before
calling the callback, or in the parent driver inside the callback, but
it seems duplicating code.
Thanks,
Stefano
Thanks
Notes:
v2:
- removed `struct task_struct *owner` param (unused for now, maybe
useful to support cgroups) [Jason]
- add unbind_mm callback [Jason]
