It's a feature useful for developers and no one expects remove code to be perfect (e.g. resilient against someone trying to break it by doing things in parallel, etc.). > > I've been using the modular pcie-qcom patch for months now, unloading > > and reloading the driver repeatedly to test power sequencing, without > > noticing any problems whatsoever. > > Pali's commit log suggests that unloading the module is not, by > itself, enough to trigger the problem: > > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20220709161858.15031-1-pali@xxxxxxxxxx/ > > Can you test the scenario he mentions? Turns out the pcie-qcom driver does not support legacy interrupts so there's no risk of there being any lingering mappings if I understand things correctly. Johan
