If a channel is being rapidly restarted and the kobj release worker is
busy, there is a chance the the rpdev_release function will run after
the channel struct itself has been released.

There should not be a need to decouple the channel from rpdev in the
rpdev release since that should only happen from the channel close
commands.

Fixes tag? The whole thing sounds broken and probably is still racy in
the face of SMP given that channel->rpdev is tested for "published" or
not. Can you describe the race that you're closing more?


Thanks Stephen, will add Fixes tag and try to describe the race better.

I agree that the whole thing sounds broken, the glink channel cleanup code has a couple bugs that need to be addressed in a more extensive patch. This patch is more to address the immediate issue of a use-after-free from one of the races.
