Exactly for this reason more granular lock is used and that's the reason
mdev_parent.lock was introduced. Consider the max supported config for
vGPU: 8 GPUs in a system with 16 mdev devices on each GPUs, i.e. 128
mdev devices need to be created in a system, and this count will
increase in future, all mdev device creation/removal will get serialized
with this change.
I agree with your concern that if there are duplicates across parents,
its not caught earlier.

Here lock is not for create/remove routines of vendor driver, its about
mdev device creation and device registration, which is a common code
path, and so is part of mdev core module.

Is it possible to use mdev_list_lock for as minimal portion as possible?
By adding mdev device to mdev_list just after:
memcpy(&mdev->uuid, &uuid, sizeof(uuid_le));
and then unlock mdev_list_lock, but at the same time all later error
cases need to be handled properly in this function.
Thanks,
