Subject: [ofa-general] [PATCH 1/2] IPoIB: Fix unregister_netdev hang
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:48:03 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070918111803.1769.60619.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

While using IPoIB over EHCA (rc6 bits), unregister_netdev hangs with
the message: "waiting for ib2 to become free.  Usage count = -515276",
etc.

The problem is that the poll handler does netif_rx_complete (which
does a dev_put) followed by netif_rx_reschedule() to schedule for
more receives (which again does a dev_put). This reduces refcount to
< 0 (depending on how many times netif_rx_complete followed by
netif_rx_reschedule was called).

The following patch fixes the bug, but I don't know if there is some
specific IB issue that prevents this approach.
