How do you think about to use the following patch variant
(so that unwanted curly brackets would be avoided for proposed single statements
in two if branches)?

+ mutex_lock(&nbd->config_lock);
- if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&nbd->refs)) {
+ if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&nbd->refs) || !nbd->recv_workq) {
+ mutex_unlock(&nbd->config_lock);
mutex_unlock(&nbd_index_mutex);
printk(KERN_ERR "nbd: device at index %d is going down\n",tter
index);
return -EINVAL;
}
It looks better,  thanks for your suggestion.

By the way:
Would you like to replace the following two statements by the statement
“goto put_nbd;” in another update step for this function implementation?

nbd_put(nbd);
return 0;
Sure, I will do it.

Markus
