We haven't heard anything of this problem.

Hi Niklas, thanks for the report, I added the Intel Driver's list for
more exposure.

I asked the developers working on that driver to take a look and they
tried to reproduce, and were unable to do so. This might be related to
your platform, which strongly suggests that the ACPI stuff may be related.

We have tried to reproduce but everything works fine no call trace in
scenario with creating VF.

This is good in that it doesn't seem to be a general failure, you may
want to file a kernel bugzilla (bugzilla.kernel.org) to track the issue,
and I hope that @Rafael might have some insight.

This issue may be related to changes in acpi_pci_find_companion,
but as I say, we are not able to reproduce this.

    PCI: VMD: ACPI: Make ACPI companion lookup work for VMD bus

At this point maybe a bisect would be helpful, since this seems to be a
corner case that we used to handle but no longer do.

Thanks!
Jesse
