Sorry if I'm late here on my review.
There are rlimit checks before calling vfio_lock_acct() while pinning
pages. I agree this is checked holding locks, so this check is more
robust, but still it feels redundant. I think you can remove checks from
vfio_pin_page_external() and vfio_pin_pages_remote().
Also while checking the limit, !lock_cap checks is not considered here.
That would mean that there code would impose limit check even without
lock capability?
Thanks,
Kirti
