One thing that came into my mind is that after this commit:

commit 5ce995f313ce56c0c62425c3ddc37c5c50fc33db
Author: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri May 29 16:02:59 2020 +0800

    vhost: use mmgrab() instead of mmget() for non worker device

    For the device that doesn't use vhost worker and use_mm(), mmget() is
    too heavy weight and it may brings troubles for implementing mmap()
    support for vDPA device.

We don't hold the address space after this commit, so the userspace
mapping could be invalid if the owner exits?

Thanks
