Thanks for pointing this out.
It was introduced in the GVT-g refactor patch series and Christoph might
not want to touch the vgpu->released while he needed a new state.
I dig it a bit. vgpu->attached would be used for preventing multiple open
on a single vGPU and indicate the kvm_get_kvm() has been done.
vgpu->released was to prevent the release before close, which is now
handled by the vfio_device_*.
What I would like to do are:
1) Remove the vgpu->released. 2) Use alock to protect vgpu->attached.
After those were solved, the WARN_ON/return in the intel_vgpu_remove()
should be safely removed as the .release will be called after .close_device
deceases the vfio_device->refcnt to zero.
Thanks,
Zhi.
