Do you perhaps want to combine the above patch with the previous patch? 
I don't think that any reference counting scheme can fix all 
use-after-free issues related to srpt_remove_one(). Immediately after 
srpt_remove_one() returns the caller of this function calls 
ib_device_put() and ib_client_put(). These functions free data 
structures that can be reached from the pointers that are stored in 
struct ib_qp. Holding a reference on struct ib_device as long as any 
session is live would allow to remove the while-loop from 
srpt_release_sport(). However, I'm not sure that would make a 
significant difference since there is a similar while-loop in one of the 
callers of srpt_remove_one() (disable_device() in the RDMA core).
