[ Upstream commit af6565adb02d3129d3fae4d9d5da945abaf4417a ]
If an event is added while the rdma workqueue is being destroyed
it could lead to several races, list corruption, null pointer
dereference during queue_work or init_queue.
This fixes the race between the two flows which can occur during
shutdown.
A kref object and a completion object are added to the rdma_dev
structure, these are initialized before the workqueue is created.
The refcnt is used to indicate work is being added to the
workqueue and ensures the cleanup flow won't start while we're in
the middle of adding the event.
Once the work is added, the refcnt is decreased and the cleanup flow
is safe to run.

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.
