<title>RDMA/core: Allow the ioctl layer to abort a fully created uobject</title>

<content type='text'>
While creating a uobject every create reaches a point where the uobject is
fully initialized. For ioctls that go on to copy_to_user this means they
need to open code the destruction of a fully created uobject - ie the
RDMA_REMOVE_DESTROY sort of flow.

Open coding this creates bugs, eg the CQ does not properly flush the
events list when it does its error unwind.

Provide a uverbs_finalize_uobj_create() function which indicates that the
uobject is fully initialized and that abort should call to destroy_hw to
destroy the uobj-&gt;object and related.

Methods can call this function if they go on to have error cases after
setting uobj-&gt;object. Once done those error cases can simply do return,
without an error unwind.

Now that all callers provide a non-NULL attrs the ufile is redundant.
Adjust things so that the context handling is done inside alloc_uobj,
and the ib_uverbs_get_ucontext_file() is avoided if we already have the
context.

This is a left over from an earlier version that creates a lot of
complexity for error unwind, particularly for FD uobjects.

The only reason this was done is so that anon_inode_get_file() could be
called with the final fops and a fully setup uobject. Both need to be
setup since unwinding anon_inode_get_file() via fput will call the
driver's release().

Now that the driver does not provide release, we no longer need to worry
about this complicated sequence, simply create the struct file at the
start and allow the core code's release function to deal with the abort
case.

This allows all the confusing error paths around commit to be removed.

<title>RDMA/core: Simplify destruction of FD uobjects</title>

FD uobjects have a weird split between the struct file and uobject
world. Simplify this to make them pure uobjects and use a generic release
method for all struct file operations.

This fixes the control flow so that mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx() is always
called before erasing the linked list contents to make the concurrancy
simpler to understand.

For this to work the uobject destruction must fence anything that it is
cleaning up - the design must not rely on struct file lifetime.

Only deliver_event() relies on the struct file to when adding new events
to the queue, add a is_destroyed check under lock to block it.

<title>RDMA/mlx5: Use RCU and direct refcounts to keep memory alive</title>

dispatch_event_fd() runs from a notifier with minimal locking, and relies
on RCU and a file refcount to keep the uobject and eventfd alive.

As the next patch wants to remove the file_operations release function
from the drivers, re-organize things so that the devx_event_notifier()
path uses the existing RCU to manage the lifetime of the uobject and
eventfd.

Move the refcount puts to a call_rcu so that the objects are guaranteed to
exist and remove the indirect file refcount.

<title>RDMA/uverbs: Remove needs_kfree_rcu from uverbs_obj_type_class</title>

<content type='text'>
After device disassociation the uapi_objects are destroyed and freed,
however it is still possible that core code can be holding a kref on the
uobject. When it finally goes to uverbs_uobject_free() via the kref_put()
it can trigger a use-after-free on the uapi_object.

Since needs_kfree_rcu is a micro optimization that only benefits file
uobjects, just get rid of it. There is no harm in using kfree_rcu even if
it isn't required, and the number of involved objects is small.
