Mark Bloch 42cea83f95 IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload
On load we create private CQ/QP/PD in order to be used by UMR, we create
those resources after we register ourself as an IB device, and we destroy
them after we unregister as an IB device. This was changed by commit
16c1975f10 ("IB/mlx5: Create profile infrastructure to add and remove
stages") which moved the destruction before we unregistration. This
allowed to trigger an invalid memory access when unloading mlx5_ib while
there are open resources:

We restore the original behavior by breaking the UMR stage into two parts,
pre and post IB registration stages, this way we can restore the original
functionality and maintain clean separation of logic between stages.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
