Right! I already have a patch for that since I used for the vdpa-blk
software device in-kernel PoC where I had the same issue.
I'll add it to the series!

Yep, I'm waiting inside vdpasim_worker_queue_mm() calling
kthread_flush_work().
If we will use mutex, I think we can avoid the lock release around that
call.

Got it, my biggest concern was when we go from a vhost-vdpa virtio-vdpa,
but as you said, in vhost-vdpa I can call unbind before releasing the
device.
