I suspect what happened was that we added pci_reset_slot(), used it in VFIO, found a deadlock, added pci_try_reset_slot(), and converted VFIO to use pci_try_reset_slot() to fix the deadlock, leaving no callers of pci_reset_slot() itself. 090a3c5322e9 ("PCI: Add pci_reset_slot() and pci_reset_bus()") 8b27ee60bfd6 ("vfio-pci: PCI hot reset interface") 61cf16d8bd38 ("PCI: Add pci_try_reset_function(), pci_try_reset_slot(), pci_try_reset_bus()") 890ed578df82 ("vfio-pci: Use pci "try" reset interface") I *think* pci_try_reset_slot() is already equivalent to pci_reset_slot() except that it returns -EAGAIN if it can't lock the slot. But if you remove pci_reset_slot(), you could rename pci_try_reset_slot() to pci_reset_slot(). It doesn't seem like keeping "try" in the function name would be necessary. > This is what happens when you insert a fatal error to a hotplug > slot.

I assume this refers to pci_try_reset_slot() and pci_try_reset_bus(), which are only used by VFIO in vfio_pci_ioctl() and vfio_pci_try_bus_reset(). Both of those callers use pci_probe_reset_slot() to decide whether to use pci_try_reset_slot() or pci_try_reset_bus(). If you're suggesting to pull that slot/bus distinction into the PCI core somehow, that would be fine with me, although VFIO does use the pci_probe_reset_slot() result for other purposes in those functions. > Since Oza's DPC/AER patch to refactor fatal error handling, both > hotplug driver and AER/DPC driver will try removing devices and > perform enumeration on link events/AER events. > > Perfect environment for race condition without a change. Yeah, this looks like a bit of a mess. I guess we're getting two interrupts (AER interrupt and hotplug interrupt) and we should coordinate their handling somehow. I don't have a proposal. This race could happen independent of the device reset paths, of course.
