port_is_valid() and evtchn_from_port() are fine to use without holding any locks.
Per my remark in patch #1, currently, this only holds as long as we are checking the port for the current domain.
If it were a different domain, then the risk a risk that port_is_valid() may return valid and then invalid.
AFAICT, evtchn_close() may be called with d != current. So there is some racyness in the code as well.
Therefore, I will defer my ack until we agree on whether port_is_valid() can be used locklessly when current != domain.
