Hi, Michael Tsirkin pointed out issues w.r.t various locking related TODO items and races w.r.t device removal. In this first round of cleanups, I have taken care of most pressing issues. These patches apply on top of following. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git#virtiofs-v4 I have tested these patches with mount/umount and device removal using qemu monitor. For example. virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp vm9-f28 device_del myvirtiofs Now a mounted device can be removed and file system will return errors -ENOTCONN and one can unmount it. Miklos, if you are fine with the patches, I am fine if you fold these all into existing patch. I kept them separate so that review is easier. Any feedback or comments are welcome.
