While creating a uobject every create reaches a point where the uobject is fully initialized. For ioctls that go on to copy_to_user this means they need to open code the destruction of a fully created uobject - ie the RDMA_REMOVE_DESTROY sort of flow. Open coding this creates bugs, eg the CQ does not properly flush the events list when it does its error unwind. Provide a uverbs_finalize_uobj_create() function which indicates that the uobject is fully initialized and that abort should call to destroy_hw to destroy the uobj->object and related. Methods can call this function if they go on to have error cases after setting uobj->object. Once done those error cases can simply do return, without an error unwind.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
