I suspect you need smp_rmb() here to make sure it test does not
bypass the memory read.

You will accordingly need smp_wmb() when you set the flag,
maybe it's there already - I have not checked.

This last point I don't get. flag read could bypass data read
if that happens data read could happen after unmap
yes it might get a PF but you handle that, correct?

I would really prefer a callback that vhost would register
and stop all accesses. Tell me if you need help on above idea.
But with the above nits addressed,
I think this would be acceptable as well.
