In commit 61d79256 ("vfio-pci: Use mutex around open, release, and remove") a mutex was added to freeze the refcnt for a device so that we can handle errors and perform bus resets on final close. However, bus resets can be rather slow and a global mutex here is undesirable. Evaluating the potential locking granularity, a per-device mutex provides the best resolution but with multiple devices on a bus all released concurrently, they'll race to acquire each other's mutex, likely resulting in no reset at all if we use trylock. We therefore lock at the granularity of the bus/slot reset as we're only attempting a single reset for this group of devices anyway. This allows much greater scaling as we're bounded in the number of devices protected by a single reflck object.
