Subject[PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a race condition when unregistering a device
Date
When build with Debug the following crash is sometimes observed:
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff812b9600>] string+0x40/0x100
[<ffffffff812bb038>] vsnprintf+0x218/0x5e0

[<ffffffff8155c71c>] printk+0x41/0x45

[<ffffffffa0051ecb>] vmbus_process_rescind_offer+0x2b/0x110 [hv_vmbus]
...

This happens due to the following race: between 'if (channel->device_obj)' check
in vmbus_process_rescind_offer() and pr_debug() in vmbus_device_unregister() the
device can disappear. Fix the issue by taking an additional reference to the
device before proceeding to vmbus_device_unregister().
