Changing this into a devm_allocation means that the irq now will not be free-ed until after pciehp_remove() has completed and that function calls: pciehp_release_ctrl(ctrl); which releases the memory the ctrl pointer points to and that same memory / pointer is used by pciehp_isr. So after your patch it is possible for the IRQ to trigger after pciehp_release_ctrl(ctrl) has free-ed the memory (and before the devm framework calls free_irq() disabling the IRQ), causing pciehp_isr to reference free-ed memory, leading to a crash. Since this patch introduces a bug we cannot accept it, nack. Regards, Hans
