We are using the vhost_scsi_mutex to make sure vhost_scsi_port_link and vhost_scsi_port_unlink see if vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint has cleared tpg->vhost_scsi and it can't be freed while they are using. However, we currently set the tpg->vhost_scsi pointer while holding tv_tpg_mutex. So, we can just hold that while calling vhost_scsi_hotplug/hotunplug. We then don't need to hold the vhost_scsi_mutex while vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint is holding it and doing a flush which could cause the LUN map/unmap to have to wait on another device's flush.

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.
