The algorithm must enable the drivers an option to fully cleanup their
resources as was done before this change.
Using REMOVE or CLOSE without some following change won't do the work as
the infrastructure (e.g. remove_commit_idr_uobject) and other IB cleanup
functions during the road (e.g. uverbs_free_qp, uverbs_free_cq) will
force cleanup of some memory/idr/ref resources and prevent a second
successful iteration in case of a failure.
For that reason the initial iteration should be with some relaxed mode
and just later in case were left uncleaned-up resources the code should
use the REMOVE/CLOSE option.
However, I do agree that we need to preserve the original signal to let
downstream layers to know what happened, at the moment it looks like
there is one place that it's even a must as part of
uverbs_hot_unplug_completion_event_file() where
'RDMA_REMOVE_DRIVER_REMOVE' is used explicitly as part of the cleanup flow.
For that I suggest below [1] patch which replaces RDMA_REMOVE_DESTROY in
the first iteration with RDMA_REMOVE_DRIVER_REMOVE_RELAX/
RDMA_REMOVE_CLOSE_RELAX new enum values to do the job.

We can't rely on all drivers' return codes from legacy/current firmware
code for all objects to return a specific ret code for that case.
Even if we had such, the second iteration where we should force cleanup
might still fail with that ret code and a kernel memory leak would occur.

The patch saves the previous behavior that set a warn message [2] and
not a WARN_ON, if you think that WARN_ON is better we can change to.

The suggested patch on top of current can look like below.
