Connect and disconnect a nbd device repeatedly, will cause NULL pointer fault. It will appear by the steps: 1. Connect the nbd device and disconnect it, but now nbd device is not disconnected totally. 2. Connect the same nbd device again immediately, it will fail in nbd_start_device with a EBUSY return value. 3. Wait a second to make sure the last config_refs is reduced and run nbd_config_put to disconnect the nbd device totally. 4. Start another process to open the nbd_device, config_refs will increase and at the same time disconnect it. To fix it, add a NBD_HAS_STARTED flag. Set it in nbd_start_device_ioctl and nbd_genl_connect if nbd device is started successfully. Clear it in nbd_config_put. Test it in nbd_genl_disconnect and nbd_genl_reconfigure.
