Won't preventing use after free be relevant?
I frankly don't know what does hardening means then.> E.g the driver

No, there's no way to fix it ATM without extra locks and state which I
think we should strive to avoid or make it generic, not per-driver,
since sync before reset is useless, new interrupts will just arrive and
queue more work. And a sync after reset is too late since driver will
try to add buffers.
Maybe we can break device. Two issues with that
- drivers might not be ready to handle add_buf failures
- restore needs to unbreak then and we don't have a way to do that yet
So .. careful reading of all device drivers and hoping we don't mess
things up even more ... here we come.

Right. It's not that it conflicts, it's that I was hoping that
since you are working on hardening you can take up fixing that.
Let me know whether you have the time. Thanks!
