So this is a spec violation. absolutely.

Here's the whole code snippet:


        mutex_lock(&vsock->tx_lock);
        vsock->tx_run = true;
        mutex_unlock(&vsock->tx_lock);

        mutex_lock(&vsock->rx_lock);
        virtio_vsock_rx_fill(vsock);
        vsock->rx_run = true;
        mutex_unlock(&vsock->rx_lock);

        mutex_lock(&vsock->event_lock);
        virtio_vsock_event_fill(vsock);
        vsock->event_run = true;
        mutex_unlock(&vsock->event_lock);

        if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET))
                vsock->seqpacket_allow = true;

        vdev->priv = vsock;
        rcu_assign_pointer(the_virtio_vsock, vsock);

        mutex_unlock(&the_virtio_vsock_mutex);


I worry that this is not the only problem here:
seqpacket_allow and setting of vdev->priv at least after
device is active look suspicious.
E.g.:

static void virtio_vsock_event_done(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        struct virtio_vsock *vsock = vq->vdev->priv;

        if (!vsock)
                return;
        queue_work(virtio_vsock_workqueue, &vsock->event_work);
}

looks like it will miss events now they will be reported earlier.
One might say that since vq has been kicked it might send
interrupts earlier too so not a new problem, but
there's a chance device actually waits until DRIVER_OK
to start operating.
