This is what happens when you insert a fatal error to a hotplug slot.

Perfect environment for race condition without a change. Try to mask hotplug interrupts during AER/DPC fatal error handling. Changes from v4: * add mask_irq() and unmask_irq() callbacks to struct pcie_driver * refactor reset_slot() to use pciehp_mask_irq() an pciehp_unmask_irq() Sinan Kaya (3): PCI: pciehp: implement mask and unmask interrupt functions PCI: pciehp: reuse pciehp_mask/unmask_irq() in reset_slot() PCI: Mask and unmask hotplug interrupts during reset drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp.h | 2 ++ drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_core.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- drivers/pci/pcie/err.c | 11 +++++++++++ drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv.h | 2 ++ 5 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
