Certain flows need to access the rdma-info structure, for example dcbx
update flows. In some cases there can be a race between the allocation or
deallocation of the structure which was done in roce start / roce stop and
an asynchrounous dcbx event that tries to access the structure.
For this reason, we move the allocation of the rdma_info structure to be
similar to the iscsi/fcoe info structures which are allocated during device
setup.
We add a new field of "active" to the struct to define whether roce has
already been started or not, and this is checked instead of whether the
pointer to the info structure.

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.
