Subject: [PATCH 3.2 033/147] IB/uverbs: Fix device cleanup

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@...lanox.com>

commit efdd6f53b10aead0f5cf19a93dd3eb268ac0d991 upstream.

Uverbs device should be cleaned up only when there is no
potential usage of.

As part of ib_uverbs_remove_one which might be triggered upon reset flow
the device reference count is decreased as expected and leave the final
cleanup to the FDs that were opened.

Current code increases reference count upon opening a new command FD and
decreases it upon closing the file. The event FD is opened internally
and rely on the command FD by taking on it a reference count.

In case that the command FD was closed and just later the event FD we
may ensure that the device resources as of srcu are still alive as they
are still in use.

Fixing the above by moving the reference count decreasing to the place
where the command FD is really freed instead of doing that when it was
just closed.
