Also you either need to flush the advise_mr_wq or cancel the pending work item when MR is destroyed to make sure that whatever page fault user triggered are canceled. Otherwise a MR can get recycled (dealloc, alloc) (looked up by MR key) for same PD which is page faulting now, which user didn't ask to.
