This is necessary to avoid various user triggerable races, for instance
racing SET_CONTAINER/UNSET_CONTAINER:
ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_SET_CONTAINER)
ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_UNSET_CONTAINER)
vfio_group_unset_container
int users = atomic_cmpxchg(&group->container_users, 1, 0);
// users == 1 container_users == 0
__vfio_group_unset_container(group);
container = group->container;
vfio_group_set_container()
if (!atomic_read(&group->container_users))
down_write(&container->group_lock);
group->container = container;
up_write(&container->group_lock);
down_write(&container->group_lock);
group->container = NULL;
up_write(&container->group_lock);
vfio_container_put(container);
/* woops we lost/leaked the new container */
This can then go on to NULL pointer deref since container == 0 and
container_users == 1.
Wrap all touches of container, except those on a performance path with a
known open device, with the group_rwsem.
The only user of vfio_group_add_container_user() holds the user count for
a simple operation, change it to just hold the group_lock over the
operation and delete vfio_group_add_container_user(). Containers now only
gain a user when a device FD is opened.

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.
