Does this happen if two sibling switches are removed simultaneously,
or does this happen when switch A leads to switch B and you remove
switch A (with obviously also removes switch B)? I'm guessing the
latter because it would be easier to reproduce. And I guess that's
obvious from the text below.

What is the runtime resume connection here? I do see that
pcie_portdrv_remove() may call pm_runtime_forbid(), which looks like
it resumes devices, but I don't see whether that's actually relevant
to the deadlock.

Oh, I see, pciehp_resume() calls pciehp_check_presence(), which
schedules the IRQ thread via pciehp_request(). So does this deadlock
only happen if the port(s) have been runtime suspended?

The child device actually *has* been hot-removed, right? :)

In addition to checking for PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, you added checks
for ~0:

That makes sense to me and I think it's the right thing to do.

But I do wonder whether pcie_capability_read_word() is doing the wrong
thing when it sets "*val = 0" in the error case. I suspect that just
complicates the callers for no good reason. The callers could
otherwise simply check for ~0 as a "this may be an error response"
value.
