From: Avinash Dayanand <avinash.dayan...@intel.com> Correcting the mutex usage, in client_subtask(), mutex_unlock has to be called just before client_del_instance() since this function opens and later closes the same mutex again. Similarly in client_is_registered removing the mutex since it closes the mutex twice.
This is a patch suggested by RDMA team.
