Thanks for suggestion :)
Sent new patch with described changes, I was thinking one more thing.

In below code :-
        if (!ibdev->sriov.is_going_down)
            queue_work(ibdev->sriov.demux[i].ud_wq, &dm[i]->work);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ibdev->sriov.going_down_lock, flags);
    }
out:
    kfree(dm);
    return;

dm is freed after queue_work, is it correct to free dm when other dm[i] are allocated ? i did not get it.

Thanks
Maninder
