Upon receipt of the NETDEV_REGISTER event from the netdev notifier chain, the IB stack registration is spawned off to a workqueue since that also requires an rtnl lock. There could be 2 kinds of races between the NETDEV_REGISTER and the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event handling. a)The NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is received in rapid succession after the NETDEV_REGISTER event even before the work queue got a chance to run. b)The NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is received while the workqueue that handles registration with the IB stack is still in progress. Handle both the races with a bit flag that is set just before the work item is queued and cleared in the workqueue after the event is handled just before the workqueue item is freed. While adding the new flag, it was noted that the flags are all used in *_bit() operations which expect a bit number and not a literal constant with a bit set. So change the numbers to be bit numbers.

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.
