Chuck Lever 67154fb801 xprtrdma: Fix BUG after a device removal
commit e89e8d8fcdc6751e86ccad794b052fe67e6ad619 upstream.

Michal Kalderon reports a BUG that occurs just after device removal:

[  169.112490] rpcrdma: removing device qedr0 for 192.168.110.146:20049
[  169.143909] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
[  169.181837] IP: rpcrdma_dma_unmap_regbuf+0xa/0x60 [rpcrdma]

The RPC/RDMA client transport attempts to allocate some resources
on demand. Registered buffers are one such resource. These are
allocated (or re-allocated) by xprt_rdma_allocate to hold RPC Call
and Reply messages. A hardware resource is associated with each of
these buffers, as they can be used for a Send or Receive Work
Request.

If a device is removed from under an NFS/RDMA mount, the transport
layer is responsible for releasing all hardware resources before
the device can be finally unplugged. A BUG results when the NFS
mount hasn't yet seen much activity: the transport tries to release
resources that haven't yet been allocated.

rpcrdma_free_regbuf() already checks for this case, so just move
that check to cover the DEVICE_REMOVAL case as well.

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.
