[ Upstream commit 4aeec3984ddc853f7c65903bde472ffdef738bae ]
vfio_add_group_dev() must be called only after all of the private data in
vdev is fully setup and ready, otherwise there could be races with user
space instantiating a device file descriptor and starting to call ops.
For instance vfio_pci_reflck_attach() sets vdev->reflck and
vfio_pci_open(), called by fops open, unconditionally derefs it, which
will crash if things get out of order.

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.
