David Matlack 5f6de5cbeb KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed ... Tie the lifetime the KVM module to the lifetime of each VM via kvm.users_count. This way anything that grabs a reference to the VM via kvm_get_kvm() cannot accidentally outlive the KVM module. Prior to this commit, the lifetime of the KVM module was tied to the lifetime of /dev/kvm file descriptors, VM file descriptors, and vCPU file descriptors by their respective file_operations "owner" field. This approach is insufficient because references grabbed via kvm_get_kvm() do not prevent closing any of the aforementioned file descriptors. This fixes a long standing theoretical bug in KVM that at least affects async page faults. kvm_setup_async_pf() grabs a reference via kvm_get_kvm(), and drops it in an asynchronous work callback. Nothing prevents the VM file descriptor from being closed and the KVM module from being unloaded before this callback runs.
