Why is the check for matrix_mdev->kvm added here? When using the KVM notifier we can get two notifications: -> KVM is here / is comming -> KVM is not here / disappearing In the first case we initialize matrix_mdev->kvm with a pointer to KVM In the second case we nullify the pointer. During the open of the mediated device, the guest should have been started or we refuse to start. During the close of the mediated device, the guest should be there, but we have no certitude that the guest did not disappear before the VFIO file being closed. Since we do not allow multiple guests using the same mediated device this case should not happen with QEMU. But I am not sure that a rogue user program could not stop KVM before closing the VFIO mediated device. Maybe Alex can confirm this point, if not we can remove the test.
