Do we really need this refcount_inc? As I understand it, the objects
aren't being pinned directly. Instead, the reference count seems to be
used more as a way to establish an object hierarchy, ensuring that
objects are freed in the correct order.
In vfio_pci_core_close_device(), you’re decrementing the reference, and
on the iommufd side, we’re covered because the VFIO bind operation takes
a file reference (fget)—so iommufd_fops_release() won’t be called
prematurely.
Wouldn’t it be simpler to skip the reference count increment altogether
and just call tsm_unbind in the virtual device’s destroy callback?
