[openib-general][RFC][CMA]: ib_cma_get_device hot unplug issue

[Guy German]

Hi,

I'm sorry for bringing it up again, but I don't understand yet why a cma 
consumer is different then any other verbs consumer (who needs to synchronize 
between a device removal cb and device verbs calls).

I understand that when returning from ib_cma_get_device the device can be no 
longer valid, but if the consumer is aware of that and makes sure it is (checks 
his devices lookup table after return), can't he just be considered as a regular 
device client, from that point on ?

If this is not a valid approach, What is your suggestion for the issue ?

Thanks,
Guy
