virtio_fs_free_devs() is now called from ->kill_sb(). By this time all device queues have been quiesced. I am assuming that while ->kill_sb() is in progress, another mount instance will wait for it to finish (sb->s_umount mutex provides mutual exclusion). W.r.t ->remove path, we should be fine as we are not touching vdev or virtqueues. And we have reference on virtio_fs object, so we know rest of the data structures are valid. So I can't see the need of any additional locking yet.
