Subject: [PATCH rdma-next] RDMA/core: release devices_rwsem when calling device_del
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:43:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ec221ec7-6abb-41b7-9237-8e799bbb5683@oracle.com> (raw)
The sync strategy in remove_all_compat_devs() can improved
by adopting that of rdma_dev_exit_net() which releases devices_rwsem
before calling remove_one_compat_dev()/device_del().
Also fixes a comment typo in rdma_dev_exit_net().
Fixes: 2b34c5580226 ("RDMA/core: Add command to set ib_core device net namspace sharing mode")
