Hmm I don't see vhost_zerocopy_add_used here.

Assuming you mean vhost_zerocopy_signal_used, here's how I would do it:
add a kref and a completion, signal completion in kref_put
callback, when backend is set - kref_get, on cleanup,
kref_put and then wait_for_completion_interruptible.
Where's the need for another thread coming from?

If you like, post a patch with busywait + a FIXME comment,
and I can write up a patch on top.

(BTW, ideally the function that does the signalling should be
in core networking bits so that it's still around
even if the vhost module gets removed).

I think so, yes, guest is told that memory can be reused so
it might put the credit card number or whatever there :)
