[PATCH] x86/PCI: Fully disable devices before releasing IRQ resource

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Thu Mar 05 2015 - 16:07:30 EST


The IRQ resource for a device is established when pci_enabled_device()
is called on a fully disabled device (ie. enable_cnt == 0). With
commit b4b55cda5874 ("x86/PCI: Refine the way to release PCI IRQ
resources") this same IRQ resource is released when the driver is
unbound from the device, regardless of the enable_cnt. This presents
the situation that an ill-behaved driver can now make a device
unusable to subsequent drivers by an imbalance in their use of
pci_enable/disable_device(). It's one thing to break your own device
if you're one of these ill-behaved drivers, but it's a serious
regression for secondary drivers like vfio-pci, which are innocent
of the transgressions of the previous driver.

Resolve by pushing the device to a fully disabled state before
releasing the IRQ resource.
