H A Dcma.cdiff 6e35aabee125999f4b3c01326f5339fa74a89259 Fri Sep 29 20:51:49 CEST 2006 Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> RDMA/cma: Fix device removal race

The race is as follows:

A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),
which sets id state to CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL and
calls wait_event(dev_remove).

B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,
and calls cma_acquire_ib_dev() and on failure
calls cma_release_remove(), which does a
wake_up of cma_process_remove(). Then
cma_req_handler() calls rdma_destroy_id();

A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the
state of id, and since it is still (wrongly)
CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL, it calls notify_user(id)
and if that fails, the caller - cma_process_remove()
calls rdma_destroy_id(id). Two processes can
call rdma_destroy_id(), resulting in one
de-referencing kfreed id_priv.

Fix is for process B to set CMA_DESTROYING in cma_req_handler()
so that process A will return instead of doing a rdma_destroy_id().
