destroy_dev() from d_close() cdev method would self-deadlock. devfs_close() bump device thread reference counter, and destroy_dev() sleeps, waiting for si_threadcount to reach zero for cdev without d_purge method. destroy_dev_sched() could be used instead from d_close(), to schedule execution of destroy_dev() in another context. The destroy_dev_sched_drain() function can be used to drain the scheduled calls to destroy_dev_sched(). Similarly, drain_dev_clone_events() drains the events clone to make sure no lingering devices are left after dev_clone event handler deregistered. make_dev_credf(MAKEDEV_REF) function should be used from dev_clone event handlers instead of make_dev()/make_dev_cred() to ensure that created device has reference counter bumped before cdev mutex is dropped inside make_dev().
