Coverity CID 1531549 reports a concurrent data access violation because
be->users is being accessed without holding the mutex.

I wonder how useful is this mutex anyhow, since the code paths should
be protected by the BQL lock. If you agree, I will send an update to
simply drop be->lock and solve this report.
I am not totally comfortable with the fact BQL covers the same
protection? Please can you elaborate.

These routines are called when a device is created which is called
from the QEMU main thread which exits holding the BQL. It should be
fine.

OK fine for me as well

I pushed 2 patches on vfio-9.0 that I will send next year. Time for a
break !

Cheers,

C.
