I read this like it is supposed to be safe regardless of
parallelism and threads. However I don't see any explicit
synchronization done for cp->initialized.

I've managed to figure out how is that supposed to be safe
for the cp_free() (which is probably our main concern) in
vfio_ccw_sch_io_todo(), but if fail when it comes to the one
in vfio_ccw_mdev_notifier().

Can you explain us how does the synchronization work?

Halil
