Hmm...  OK, so we rely upon EPOLLHUP being generated only upon the final
close of eventfd file.  And vfio seems to have an exclusion in all callers
of vfio_virqfd_{en,dis}able(), which ought to be enough.

For drivers/virt/acrn/irqfd.c EPOLLHUP is not a problem for the same
reasons, but there's no exclusion between acrn_irqfd_assign() and
acrn_irqfd_deassign() calls.  So the scenario with explicit deassign
racing with assign and leading to vfs_poll(file, <freed memory>) is
possible.

And it looks like drivers/xen/privcmd.c:privcmd_irqfd_assign() has
a similar problem...

How about the following for acrn side of things?  Does anybody see
a problem with that "do vfs_poll() before making the thing visible"
approach?
