The percpu_ref to gate whether cxl_memdev_ioctl() is free to use the
driver context (@cxlm) to issue I/O is overkill, implemented incorrectly
(missing a device reference before accessing the percpu_ref), and the
complexities of shutting down a percpu_ref contributed to a bug in the
error unwind in cxl_mem_add_memdev() (missing put_device() to be fixed
separately).
Use an rwsem to explicitly synchronize the usage of cxlmd->cxlm, and add
the missing reference counting for cxlmd in cxl_memdev_open() and
cxl_memdev_release_file().

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.
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.
