This problem is similar to the problem that the<br />
commit 1d6a9e7449e2 ("RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name")<br />
fixes.<br />
<br />
The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with<br />
lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without<br />
lock protection at the same time.<br />
<br />
The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in<br />
the function kobject_uevent().
