The device driver for the underlying physical device associated with an RPC-over-RDMA transport can be removed while RPC-over-RDMA transports are still in use (ie, while NFS filesystems are still mounted and active). The IB core performs a connection event upcall to request that consumers free all RDMA resources associated with a transport. There may be pending RPCs when this occurs. Care must be taken to release associated resources without leaving references that can trigger a subsequent crash if a signal or soft timeout occurs. We rely on the caller of the transport's ->close method to ensure that the previous RPC task has invoked xprt_release but the transport remains write-locked. A DEVICE_REMOVE upcall forces a disconnect then sleeps. When ->close is invoked, it destroys the transport's H/W resources, then wakes the upcall, which completes and allows the core driver unload to continue.

README
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.
