      * Use kzalloc() to allocate p9_conn and remove 0/NULL initializations.
      
      * Clean up error return paths.

      9p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy() · 7dc5d24b
      Tejun Heo authored
      p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling
      p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by
      waiting on p9_conn->equeue.  After that, polling is stopped and the
      trans is destroyed.  This sequence has a few problems.
      
      * Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be
        destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests
        from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them.
      
      * The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger
        because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only
        way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a
        request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the
        wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or
        without the wait.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can
      schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that
      r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling
      p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

      9p: implement proper trans module refcounting and unregistration · 72029fe8
      Tejun Heo authored
      9p trans modules aren't refcounted nor were they unregistered
      properly.  Fix it.
      
      * Add 9p_trans_module->owner and reference the module on each trans
        instance creation and put it on destruction.
      
      * Protect v9fs_trans_list with a spinlock.  This isn't strictly
        necessary as the list is manipulated only during module loading /
        unloading but it's a good idea to make the API safe.
      
      * Unregister trans modules when the corresponding module is being
        unloaded.
      
      * While at it, kill unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOL on p9_trans_fd_init().
