IB/core: Explicitly destroy an object while keeping uobject

Browse source

When some objects are destroyed, we need to extract their status at
destruction. After object's destruction, this status
(e.g. events_reported) relies in the uobject. In order to have the
latest and correct status, the underlying object should be destroyed,
but we should keep the uobject alive and read this information off the
uobject. We introduce a rdma_explicit_destroy function. This function
destroys the class type object (for example, the IDR class type which
destroys the underlying object as well) and then convert the uobject
to be of a null class type. This uobject will then be destroyed as any
other uobject once uverbs_finalize_object[s] is called.
