The memory zone could be freed just after adding it to the metadata
file and just before marking it as not freeable.
This patch changes the locking logic in order to prevent it.

Fixes: cd10c42eb5bc ("mem: fix ivshmem freeing")

Just a nit: if the stated purpose of the patch is to prevent the memzone free
before adding it to metadata, then it probably should check if the memzone
wasn't freed before we got the lock (or if it's a valid memzone in the first place).
Probably just checking if the virtual address of the memzone isn't 0 would be
enough. Otherwise looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Anatoly

The purpose of this patch is to avoid a memzone be freed after it has been
added to the metadata but
before it is marked as not freeable. (that small time interval where it is
possible).

Avoid adding an already freed memzone is another case, I will send a v2
that addresses it.
I used the length of the memzone to check whether the memzone is valid or
not.
