The new ioctl infrastructure supports driver specific objects. Each such object type has a hot unplug function, allocation size and an order of destruction. When a ucontext is created, a new list is created in this ib_ucontext. This list contains all objects created under this ib_ucontext. When a ib_ucontext is destroyed, we traverse this list several time destroying the various objects by the order mentioned in the object type description. If few object types have the same destruction order, they are destroyed in an order opposite to their creation. Adding an object is done in two parts. First, an object is allocated and added to idr tree. Then, the command's handlers (in downstream patches) could work on this object and fill in its required details. After a successful command, the commit part is called and the user objects become ucontext visible. If the handler failed, alloc_abort should be called. Removing an uboject is done by calling lookup_get with the write flag and finalizing it with destroy_commit. A major change from the previous code is that we actually destroy the kernel object itself in destroy_commit (rather than just the uobject). We should make sure idr (per-uverbs-file) and list (per-ucontext) could be accessed concurrently without corrupting them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
