In theory, this could race with device removal which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash on use after free. Do all accesses within rcu read side critical section, and synchronize on release. Since callbacks are always invoked from bh, synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help release complete a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
