You are correct, we are looking at the same code.

Okay, so your concern is that between the point in time the
vcpu->kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook pointer is checked in
priv.c and the point in time the handle_pqap() function
in vfio_ap_ops.c is called, the memory allocated for the
matrix_mdev containing the struct kvm_s390_module_hook
may get freed, thus rendering the function pointer invalid.
While not impossible, that seems extremely unlikely to
happen. Can you articulate a scenario where that could
even occur?
