On repeated module load/unload cycles, its possible for the pvrmda driver to encounter this crash: ...

This occurs because vmw_pvrdma on probe stores a pointer to the netdev that exists on function 0 of the same bus/device/slot (which represents the vmxnet3 ethernet driver). However, it never removes this pointer if the vmxnet3 module is removed, leading to crashes resulting from use after free dereferencing incidents like the one above. The fix is pretty straightforward. vmw_pvrdma should listen for NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_UNREGISTER events in its event listener code block, and update the stored netdev pointer accordingly. This solution has been tested by myself and the reporter with successful results. This fix also allows the pvrdma driver to find its underlying ethernet device in the event that vmxnet3 is loaded after pvrdma, which it was not able to do before.

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.
