I believe this patch will fix the case for bridges. I haven't tested what happens if we remove an endpoint yet though. Can you try this? Thanks. /ac --- commit 557ce38e78cf06ce16aefcf273051ea0bac3d35c Author: Alex Chiang <achiang@xxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 26 15:36:34 2009 -0600 PCI: pci_create_slot / pci_destroy_slot need to grab reference to parent bus If a logical hotunplug (remove) is performed on a PCI bridge claimed by a hotplug or slot detection driver, and then the hotplug/detection module is unloaded, we will encounter an oops: Call Trace: [<a000000100039bc0>] die+0x1c0/0x2c0 sp=e0000005062ff9e0 bsp=e0000005062f13b0 [<a000000100039d00>] die_if_kernel+0x40/0x60 sp=e0000005062ff9e0 bsp=e0000005062f1380 [<a00000010003b590>] ia64_fault+0x1230/0x1280 sp=e0000005062ff9e0 bsp=e0000005062f1300 [<a00000010000c700>] ia64_native_leave_kernel+0x0/0x270 sp=e0000005062ffbf0 bsp=e0000005062f1300 [<a0000001003988f0>] pci_slot_release+0x70/0x1c0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f12b0 [<a0000001003694d0>] kobject_release+0x4f0/0x5e0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1270 [<a00000010036b490>] kref_put+0xd0/0x100 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1248 [<a000000100368650>] kobject_put+0x90/0xc0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1220 [<a000000100399260>] pci_destroy_slot+0xa0/0xe0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f11f0 [<a0000002044d2c70>] pci_hp_deregister+0x510/0x560 [pci_hotplug] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f11a8 [<a000000205d71aa0>] acpiphp_unregister_hotplug_slot+0x80/0x100 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1180 [<a000000205d73d40>] cleanup_bridge+0x3a0/0x4c0 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1128 [<a000000205d73ee0>] cleanup_p2p_bridge+0x80/0xc0 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1108 [<a0000001003ed200>] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0x160/0x2e0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1098 [<a0000001003e8850>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x90/0xe0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1048 [<a000000205d73f70>] remove_bridge+0x50/0xe0 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f1028 [<a000000100411590>] acpi_pci_unregister_driver+0x1f0/0x2a0 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f0fe8 [<a000000205d759d0>] acpiphp_glue_exit+0x30/0x60 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f0fd0 [<a000000205d77380>] acpiphp_exit+0x20/0x40 [acpiphp] sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f0fb8 [<a0000001000e9310>] sys_delete_module+0x410/0x520 sp=e0000005062ffdc0 bsp=e0000005062f0f38 This is because pci_slot_release will access the parent PCI bus, which has already been released by the user's prior hot unplug. The solution is for pci_create_slot to grab a reference on the parent PCI bus (and pci_destroy_slot to put the reference). This will prevent the parent from release while the hotplug or slot detection driver is loaded.
