mainlining shenanigans
b5679cebf7
The changes to split ring allocation from open/close, broke
the cleanup of subchannels. This resulted in problems using
uio on network devices because the subchannel was left behind
when the network device was unbound.
The cause was in the disconnect logic which used list splice
to move the subchannel list into a local variable. This won't
work because the subchannel list is needed later during the
process of the rescind messages (relid2channel).
The fix is to just leave the subchannel list in place
which is what the original code did. The list is cleaned
up later when the host rescind is processed.
Without the fix, we have a lot of "hang" issues in netvsc when we
try to change the NIC's MTU, set the number of channels, etc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
