Previously nbd_index_mutex was held during whole add/remove/lookup
operations in order to guarantee that partially initialized devices are
not reachable via idr_find() or idr_for_each(). But now that partially
initialized devices become reachable as soon as idr_alloc() succeeds,
we need to skip partially initialized devices. Since it seems that
all functions use refcount_inc_not_zero(&nbd->refs) in order to skip
destroying devices, update nbd->refs from zero to non-zero as the last
step of device initialization in order to also skip partially initialized
devices.

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.
