The specs are required to operate the uverbs file, so they belong inside the ib_uverbs_device, not inside the ib_device. The spec passed in the ib_device is just a communication from the driver and should not be used during runtime. This also changes the lifetime of the spec memory to match the ib_uverbs_device, however at this time the spec_root can still contain driver pointers after disassociation, so it cannot be used if ib_dev is NULL. This is preparation for another series. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
