ccw is the only exception which cannot use vfio_alloc_device() because its private device structure is designed to serve both mdev and parent. Life cycle of the parent is managed by css_driver so vfio_ccw_private must be allocated/freed in css_driver probe/remove path instead of conforming to vfio core life cycle for mdev. Given that use a wait/completion scheme so the mdev remove path waits after vfio_put_device() until receiving a completion notification from @release. The completion indicates that all active references on vfio_device have been released. After that point although free of vfio_ccw_private is delayed to css_driver it's at least guaranteed to have no parallel reference on released vfio device part from other code paths. memset() in @probe is removed. vfio_device is either already cleared when probed for the first time or cleared in @release from last probe. The right fix is to introduce separate structures for mdev and parent, but this won't happen in short term per prior discussions. Remove vfio_init/uninit_group_dev() as no user now.

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.
