This happens due to the following race: between 'if (channel->device_obj)' check in vmbus_process_rescind_offer() and pr_debug() in vmbus_device_unregister() the device can disappear. Fix the issue by taking an additional reference to the device before proceeding to vmbus_device_unregister(). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
