From 31605debdf5459cc8aacabf192a911a803a81c26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 21:32:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] vfio: grab vfio_device reference *before* exposing the sucker via fd_install() It's not critical (anymore) since another thread closing the file will block on ->device_lock before it gets to dropping the final reference, but it's definitely cleaner that way...
