    RDMA/core: Sync unregistration with netlink commands · 01b67117

    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.
