patch "staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct" added to staging-testing

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct
 kib_conn

The logic of the original commit 4d99b2581eff ("staging: lustre: avoid
intensive reconnecting for ko2iblnd") was assumed conditional free of
struct kib_conn if the second argument free_conn in function
kiblnd_destroy_conn(struct kib_conn *conn, bool free_conn) is true.
But this hunk of code was dropped from original commit. As result the logic
works wrong and current code use struct kib_conn after free.

To avoid confusion this fix moved the freeing a struct kib_conn outside of
the function kiblnd_destroy_conn() and free as it was intended in original
commit.
