However, ASPM Control sysfs is still visible to other children even if it has been removed by any child function, and careless use it will trigger use-after-free error, e.g.: # lspci -tv -[0000:16]---00.0-[17]--+-00.0 Device 19e5:0222 \-00.1 Device 19e5:0222 # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:17:00.0/remove // pcie_link_state will be released # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:17:00.1/link/l1_aspm // will trigger error Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000030 Call trace: aspm_attr_store_common.constprop.0+0x10c/0x154 l1_aspm_store+0x24/0x30 dev_attr_store+0x20/0x34 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x5c We can solve this problem by updating the ASPM Control sysfs of all children immediately after ASPM Control have been freed.
