While looking at this piece of code, one thought comes to me:
It might be possible that userspace comes twice with the same valid fd for a specific
vector, this vfio code will free the resource in if(ctx && ctx->trigger) for the second
time, and then re-alloc again for the same fd given by userspace.

Would that help if we firstly check e.g. ctx->trigger with the given valid fd, to see if
the trigger is really changed or not?

Thanks,
Jing
