This will cause an informative backtrace to print if the user of ib_device_set_netdev() isn't careful about tearing down the ibdevice before its the netdevice parent is destroyed. Such as like this: unregister_netdevice: waiting for vlan0 to become free. Usage count = 2 leaked reference. ib_device_set_netdev+0x266/0x730 siw_newlink+0x4e0/0xfd0 nldev_newlink+0x35c/0x5c0 rdma_nl_rcv_msg+0x36d/0x690 rdma_nl_rcv+0x2ee/0x430 netlink_unicast+0x543/0x7f0 netlink_sendmsg+0x918/0xe20 sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x120 ____sys_sendmsg+0x70d/0x8b0 ___sys_sendmsg+0x11d/0x1b0 __sys_sendmsg+0xfa/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd This will help debug the issues syzkaller is seeing.
