    IB/uverbs: Revise and clarify the rwsem and uobjects_lock · 87064277
    Jason Gunthorpe authored
    Rename 'cleanup_rwsem' to 'hw_destroy_rwsem' which is held across any call
    to the type destroy function (aka 'hw' destroy). The main purpose of this
    lock is to prevent normal add and destroy from running concurrently with
    uverbs_cleanup_ufile()
    
    Since the uobjects list is always manipulated under the 'hw_destroy_rwsem'
    we can eliminate the uobjects_lock in the cleanup function. This allows
    converting that lock to a very simple spinlock with a narrow critical
    section.
