When the open_device() op is called the container_users is incremented and held incremented until close_device(). Thus, so long as drivers call functions within their open_device()/close_device() region they do not need to worry about the container_users. These functions can all only be called between open_device() and close_device(): vfio_pin_pages() vfio_unpin_pages() vfio_dma_rw() vfio_register_notifier() vfio_unregister_notifier() Eliminate the calls to vfio_group_add_container_user() and add vfio_assert_device_open() to detect driver mis-use. This causes the close_device() op to check device->open_count so always leave it elevated while calling the op.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
