> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v3 net] idpf: disable PTM on probe
> failure and on remove
>
> idpf_probe() enables PCIe Precision Time Measurement with
> pci_enable_ptm(), which takes a reference on the device and on every
> PTM-capable device up the path to the PTM Root.
>
> Neither the probe error path nor idpf_remove() drops that reference,
> so the PTM enable counts of this device and of its upstream path stay
> elevated with no bound driver, and the device's PTM control bits
> remain set. pcim_enable_device() only arranges for
> pci_disable_device() and does not undo the PTM enable.
>
> Add the matching pci_disable_ptm() to the common probe unwind and to
> idpf_remove(). pci_enable_ptm() failure is not fatal here, so guard
> both calls with pcie_ptm_enabled(): pci_disable_ptm() decrements
> dev->ptm_enable_cnt unconditionally and then recurses upstream, so
> calling it after a failed enable would drive this device's count
> negative and wrongly decrement parents shared with other endpoints.
>
> This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
> while reviewing kernel code.

> parameter") changed the call signature, so v2 no longer applied.
> - Guard both pci_disable_ptm() calls with pcie_ptm_enabled(), as
> pci_disable_ptm() is refcounted and recurses upstream since
> e1092d5e15e6 ("PCI/PTM: Do not enable PTM automatically for Root and
> Switch Upstream Ports"). Raised by Tony Nguyen.

> Changes in v2:
> - Disable PTM in the probe error path, as requested by Emil Tantilov.
