I'm afraid that the patch from your email will lead to a use-after-free 
of sdev->pd. As long as a session is live the ch->qp pointer may be 
dereferenced. The sdev->pd pointer is stored in the pd member of struct 
ib_qp and hence may be dereferenced by any function that uses ch->qp.

Thanks,

Bart.
