[ Upstream commit e908f58b6beb337cbe4481d52c3f5c78167b1aab ] In the below noted Fixes commit we introduced a reflck mutex to allow better scaling between devices for open and close. The reflck was based on the hot reset granularity, device level for root bus devices which cannot support hot reset or bus/slot reset otherwise. Overlooked in this were SR-IOV VFs, where there's also no bus reset option, but the default for a non-root-bus, non-slot-based device is bus level reflck granularity. The reflck mutex has since become the dev_set mutex (via commit2cd8b14aaa("vfio/pci: Move to the device set infrastructure")) and is our defacto serialization for various operations and ioctls. It still seems to be the case though that sets of vfio-pci devices really only need serialization relative to hot resets affecting the entire set, which is not relevant to SR-IOV VFs. As described in the Closes link below, this serialization contributes to startup latency when multiple VFs sharing the same "bus" are opened concurrently. Mark the device itself as the basis of the dev_set for SR-IOV VFs.

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.
