Sorry for the delayed comment.

I don't think allocating new memory for device removal is good idea. And
your code doesn't seem to work if memory allocation failed. What about
something like below? Note that it is not tested at all, sorry.


Yes, it should work.

I updated the patch, use list_entry_for_each directly. also remove VF checking.

Please check it.

Thanks

root complex: 80:02.2
pci express modules: have pcie switch and are listed as b0:00.0, b1:02.0 and b1:03.0.
end devices are b2:00.0 and b3.00.0.
VFs are: b2:00.1,... b2:00.3, and b3:00.1,...,b3:00.3

Root cause: when doing pci_stop_bus_device() with phys fn, it will stop virt fn and
remove the fn, so
list_for_each_safe(l, n,&bus->devices)
will have problem to refer freed n that is pointed to vf entry.

Solution is just replacing list_for_each_safe() with list_for_each().
pci_stop_bus_device(dev) will not remove dev from bus->devices list,
so We only need use for_each here.

During reviewing the patch, Bjorn said:
| The PCI hot-remove path calls pci_stop_bus_devices() via
| pci_remove_bus_device().
|
| pci_stop_bus_devices() traverses the bus->devices list (point A below),
| stopping each device in turn, which calls the driver remove() method. When
| the device is an SR-IOV PF, the driver calls pci_disable_sriov(), which
| also uses pci_remove_bus_device() to remove the VF devices from the
| bus->devices list (point B).
|
| pci_remove_bus_device
| pci_stop_bus_device
| pci_stop_bus_devices(subordinate)
| list_for_each(bus->devices)<-- A
| pci_stop_bus_device(PF)
| ...
| driver->remove
| pci_disable_sriov
| ...
| pci_remove_bus_device(VF)
|<remove from bus_list> <-- B
|
| At B, we're changing the same list we're iterating through at A, so when
| the driver remove() method returns, the pci_stop_bus_devices() iterator has
| a pointer to a list entry that has already been freed.

Discussion thread can be found : https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/15/141

-v2: updated changelog.
-v3: According to Kenji, do not allocate another list for PF.
Also We don't need to check dev->is_virtfn anymore, because PF should come first
in the list, and even VF come first, it is still ok.

I think we should not have an assumption that PF comes first in
the list. So I think dev->is_virtfn check is needed.

On the other hand, if we add the dev->is_virtfn check,
pci_stop_bus_devices() doesn't work for buses whose &bus->devices
list have only VFs(, though I think pci_stop_bus_devices() is not
used for this kind of bus currently). How about adding the
pci_stop_bus_device() loop for VFs after the loop for PFs, as you
did in your first try?

I think we should not use list_for_each() because

- difficult to understand the intention of the barrier().
- might not work if list_for_each() implementation were changed.
