From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> During destroy setting live = 0 and then synchronize_srcu() prevents num_pending_prefetch from incrementing, and also, ensures that all work holding that count is queued on the WQ. Testing before causes races of the form: CPU0 CPU1 dereg_mr() mlx5_ib_advise_mr_prefetch() srcu_read_lock() num_pending_prefetch_inc() if (!live) live = 0 atomic_read() == 0 // skip flush_workqueue() atomic_inc() queue_work(); srcu_read_unlock() WARN_ON(atomic_read()) // Fails Swap the order so that the synchronize_srcu() prevents this.
