Thanks to explain that, I think got your meaning that we should reserve slot for command submission after VM update.

if so, shall we add reservation_object_reserve_shared() for both of them, since any of place may run out of slot.

While the gap from me is I fail to find reserving slot during command submission,
the root bo reservation seems to be used by VM update only(if not correct me).
command submission is likely to use bo's reservation from bo list rather than root bo reservation.

BTW, reservation_object_reserve_shared() will extend the max num as 2 times if it's not enough.
(default value is 4)
