RDMA/core: Sync unregistration with netlink commands
When the rdma device is getting removed, get resource info can race with device removal, as below: CPU-0 CPU-1 -------- -------- rdma_nl_rcv_msg() nldev_res_get_cq_dumpit() mutex_lock(device_lock); get device reference mutex_unlock(device_lock); [..] ib_unregister_device() /* Valid reference to * device->dev exists. */ ib_dealloc_device() [..] provider->fill_res_entry(); Even though device object is not freed, fill_res_entry() can get called on device which doesn't have a driver anymore. Kernel core device reference count is not sufficient, as this only keeps the structure valid, and doesn't guarantee the driver is still loaded. Similar race can occur with device renaming and device removal, where device_rename() tries to rename a unregistered device. While this is fine for devices of a class which are not net namespace aware, but it is incorrect for net namespace aware class coming in subsequent series. If a class is net namespace aware, then the below [1] call trace is observed in above situation. Therefore, to avoid the race, keep a reference count and let device unregistration wait until all netlink users drop the reference.
