1. You are changing RDMA code and not net code, please add linux-rdma
mailing list to the CC list.
2. Please put changelog after --- trailer.
3. Please add to the commit message stack trace.
4. "May lead to a race condition ..." makes me wonder how it is
possible, because RoCE/iWARP devices can't leave without netdev. So
please explain how it is possible in the commit message.
Thanks
