The code seems to stuff these pfns into iommu pts (or something like that, I didn't follow), but there's no mmu_notifier to ensure that access is synchronized with pte updates.
Hence mark these as unsafe. This means that with CONFIG_STRICT_FOLLOW_PFN, these will be rejected. Real fix is to wire up an mmu_notifier ... somehow. Probably means any invalidate is a fatal fault for this vfio device, but then this shouldn't ever happen if userspace is reasonable.
