After some experiments, I came up two methods:

1) switch to use vq->mutex, then we must take the vq lock during range
checking (but I don't see obvious slowdown for 16vcpus + 16queues).
Setting flags during weight check should work but it still can't address
the worst case: wait for the page to be swapped in. Is this acceptable?

2) using current RCU but replace synchronize_rcu() with
vhost_work_flush(). The worst case is the same as 1) but we can check
range without holding any locks.

Which one did you prefer?

Thanks
