The disassociate function was broken by design because it failed all commands. This prevents userspace from calling destroy on a uobject after it has detected a device fatal error and thus reclaiming the resources in userspace is prevented. This fix is now straightforward, when anything destroys a uobject that is not the user the object remains on the IDR with a NULL context and object pointer. All lookup locking modes other than DESTROY will fail. When the user ultimately calls the destroy function it is simply dropped from the IDR while any related information is returned.

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.
