From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> There has one race case for ceph's rbd-nbd tool. When do mapping it may fail with EBUSY from ioctl(nbd, NBD_DO_IT), but actually the nbd device has already unmaped. It dues to if just after the wake_up(), the recv_work() is scheduled out and defers calling the nbd_config_put(), though the map process has exited the "nbd->recv_task" is not cleared.
