cover Protect against iommu driver disconnect

Michael Tsirkin pointed out that file operations on /dev/vfio/vfio dereference iommu_driver and iommu_data without a lock. If releasing a group or unsetting the container occurs concurrently, we could race. We currently use a mutex when setting this association, so we can convert to a rwsem keeping the existing mutex critical sections as down_writes and add down_reads where these are used. Thanks,

Alex

PATCH 1/2 vfio: Convert container->group_lock to rwsem

All current users are writers, maintaining current mutual exclusion. This lets us add read users next.

PATCH 2/2 vfio: Use down_reads to protect iommu disconnects

In reply to Alex Williamson

If a group or device is released or a container is unset from a group it can race against file ops on the container. Protect these with down_reads to allow concurrent users.
