When two handlers used the same object in the old schema, we blocked the process in the kernel. The new schema just returns -EBUSY. This could lead to different behaviour in applications between the old schema and the new schema. In most cases, using such handlers concurrently could lead to crashing the process. For example, if thread A destroys a QP and thread B modifies it, we could have the destruction happens before the modification. In this case, we are accessing freed memory which could lead to crashing the process. This is true for most cases. However, attaching and detaching a multicast address from QP concurrently is safe. Therefore, we preserve the original behaviour by adding a lock there.

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.
