Public bug reported:
When we try to load and unload the ib_ipoib driver we get an error
message.
Steps to reproduce:
load ib_ipoib: modprobe -v ib_ipoib
configure ip: ifconfig ib0 11.135.196.7/16
unload driver: modprobe -rv ib_ipoib
We will see this message in dmesg:
[ 709.652944] ib0: ib_dealloc_pd failed
uname output:

IB/ipoib: change init sequence ordering
In preparation for using per device work queues, we need to move the
start of the neighbor thread task to after ipoib_ib_dev_init and move
the destruction of the neighbor task to before ipoib_ib_dev_cleanup.
Otherwise we will end up freeing our workqueue with work possibly
still on it.

IB/ipoib: factor out ah flushing
Create a an ipoib_flush_ah and ipoib_stop_ah routines to use at
appropriate times to flush out all remaining ah entries before we shut
the device down.
Because neighbors and mcast entries can each have a reference on any
given ah, we must make sure to free all of those first before our ah
will actually have a 0 refcount and be able to be reaped.
This factoring is needed in preparation for having per-device work
queues. The original per-device workqueue code resulted in the following
error message:
<ibdev>: ib_dealloc_pd failed
That error was tracked down to this issue. With the changes to which
workqueues were flushed when, there were no flushes of the per device
workqueue after the last ah's were freed, resulting in an attempt to
dealloc the pd with outstanding resources still allocated. This code
puts the explicit flushes in the needed places to avoid that problem.
