If mlx5_vdpa gets unloaded while a VM is running, the workqueue will be
destroyed. However, vhost might still have reference to the kick
function and might attempt to push new works. This could lead to null
pointer dereference.
To fix this, set mvdev->wq to NULL just before destroying and verify
that the workqueue is not NULL in mlx5_vdpa_kick_vq before attempting to
push a new work.

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.
