All drivers are expected to shutdown DMA and interrupts in their shutdown() routines. They can skip removing threads, data structures etc. but DMA and interrupt disabling are required. This is the difference between shutdown() and remove() callbacks. If you see that this is not being done in HPSA, then that is where the bugfix should be. Counter argument is that if shutdown() is not implemented, at least remove() should be called. Expecting all drivers to implement shutdown() callbacks is just bad by design in my opinion. Code should have fallen back to remove() if shutdown() doesn't exist. I can propose a patch for this but this is yet another story to chase. > >> This has been found to cause crashes on HP DL360 Gen9 machines during >> reboot.

Handy for hotplug use cases. It needs to be the exact opposite of the probe. It needs to clean up resources etc. and have the HW in a state where it can be reinitialized via probe again. > >> .err_handler = &pcie_portdrv_err_handler, >> >> -- >> 2.7.4 >> > -- Sinan Kaya Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
