>Environment:
>Description:
1. The logic to coordinate suspend/resume around nvmm ioctls
involves taking a global mutex to check whether we're
suspending. This could be a performance bottleneck when
many VMs are running in parallel.
2. nvmm_detach is racy, partly because of PR kern/60547:
fileops(9) can't be safely unloaded in a module. Need to:
(a) mark that we're detaching,
(b) suspend nvmm ioctls and make sure nvmm_enter_sig fails
promptly when detaching,
(c) wait for all concurrent fileops to return, and then
(d) finally we can safely free all the resources.
>How-To-Repeat:
code inspection
>Fix:
1. pserialize(9)/localcount(9)
