Not sure why we need to take cf_mutex here. Appears to me only
setters (set_status and reset) need to take the lock in this function.

You may be right but it doesn't harm and it is guaranteed to be
correct if we protect it with mutex here.
Is it more for future proof?

I think so.
I guess in this situation it would be better defer to the future patch
to add such locking or wrapper, although right now there are just two
additional calls taking the lock needlessly when vhost_vdpa_get_status
is called. Maybe it's just me but I'm worried some future patch may
calls the locked API wrapper thousands of times unintendedly, then the
overhead becomes quite obvious.
I'm fine to remove this if others agree on this.
It looks Parav acked on this. Anyone else?


Ok, but IMHO it might be better to get some comment here, otherwise
it's quite confusing why the lock needs to be held. vhost_vdpa had
done its own serialization in vhost_vdpa_unlocked_ioctl() through
vhost_dev`mutex.

Right, but they are done for different levels, one is for vhost_dev
antoher is for vdpa_dev.
The cf_mutex is introduced to serialize the command line configure
thread (via netlink) and the upstream driver calls from either the
vhost_dev or virtio_dev. I don't see a case, even in future, where the
netlink thread needs to update the virtio status on the fly. Can you
enlighten me why that is at all possible?
After some thought I don't see a case. I can think of NEEDS_RESET but
it should come with a config interrupt so we're probably fine without
the mutex here.
True, it's quite unlikely for netlink to alter the status directly while driver is running. More likely the out of band reset has to reach the guest driver first for it to be aware, which would then initiate the vhost call down to vhost-vdpa through the same path.

The reset() call in the if branch above needs to take the cf_mutex,
the same way as that for set_status(). The reset() is effectively
set_status(vdpa, 0).
