IB/isert: Properly release resources on 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. In the current implementation, iser-target just initiates the cleanup and returns from DEVICE_REMOVAL callback. This deferred work creates a race between iser-target cleaning IB objects(say MR) and lld destroying IB device instance. This patch includes the following fixes -> make sure that consumer frees all IB objects associated with device instance -> return non-zero from the callback to destroy the rdma_cm id Signed-off-by: Raju Rangoju <rajur@chelsio.com> Acked-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
