[PATCH RFC v2 0/2] vsock/virtio: fix issues on device hot-unplug

[Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>]

These patches try to handle the hot-unplug of vsock virtio transport device in
a proper way.

Maybe move the vsock_core_init()/vsock_core_exit() functions in the module_init
and module_exit of vsock_virtio_transport module can't be the best way, but the
architecture of vsock_core forces us to this approach for now.

The vsock_core proto_ops expect a valid pointer to the transport device, so we
can't call vsock_core_exit() until there are open sockets.

Another (little more complex) approach during the device removal, could be to
unregister the AF_VSOCK protocol, then reset all sockets and wait for their
destruction. At this point, we can set the transport pointer to NULL.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

v1 -> v2:
 - Fixed commit message of patch 1.
