The ib_write_umad() is protected by taking the umad file mutex.
However, it accesses file->port->ib_dev -- which is protected only by the
port's mutex (field file_mutex).
The ib_umad_remove_one() calls ib_umad_kill_port() which sets
port->ib_dev to NULL under the port mutex (NOT the file mutex).
It then sets the mad agent to "dead" under the umad file mutex.
This is a race condition -- because there is a window where
port->ib_dev is NULL, while the agent is not "dead".
As a result, we saw stack traces like:

In the above trace, ib_umad_write is trying to dereference the NULL
file->port->ib_dev pointer.
Fix this by using the agent's device pointer (the device field
in struct ib_mad_agent) -- which IS protected by the umad file mutex.

README
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.
