Re: [PATCH 1/1] IB/iSER-Target: Release connection resources properly when receiving RDMA_CM_EVENT_DEVICE_REMOVAL

When the low level driver exercises the hot unplug they would call
rdma_cm cma_remove_one which would fire DEVICE_REMOVAL event to all cma
consumers. Now, if consumer doesn't make sure they destroy all IB
objects created on that IB device instance prior to finalizing all
processing of DEVICE_REMOVAL callback, rdma_cm will let the lld to
de-register with IB core and destroy the IB device instance. And if the
consumer calls (say) ib_dereg_mr(), it will crash since that dev object
is NULL.

Yea... this used to work but sort of broke somewhere...

Thanks Raju, the patch looks good,

Doug,

Can you add a stable tag to this when picking it up?

Thanks,
Sagi
