The sysfs interface remove_store() uses device_schedule_callback() to schedule the remove for later. What's happening is that we schedule remove_callback() for both devices before 10:00.0 has been removed, like this: # echo -n 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:10\:00.0/remove remove_store # for 10:00.0 device_schedule_callback(10:00.0, remove_callback) sysfs_schedule_callback kobject_get queue_work # echo -n 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:01.0/remove remove_store # for 1a:01.0 device_schedule_callback(1a:01.0, remove_callback) sysfs_schedule_callback kobject_get queue_work Later, we run the callbacks, starting with 10:00.0. This calls remove_callback() to perform the remove: remove_callback(10:00.0) mutex_lock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex) pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(pdev) mutex_unlock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex) This will stop and remove the subtree below 10:00.0, but it does not actually free the pci_dev for 1a:01.0 because we increased its ref count in sysfs_schedule_callback. So after completing remove_callback(10:00.0), we run the second callback for 1a:01.0. But the PCI core did this removal wrong. It deallocated the struct pci_bus for bus 0000:1a too soon. So we add the pci bus' reference management, take a reference on the bus object when capturing the struct pci_bus pointer, in order to keep it valid as long as the pci_dev exists. And check if the device get removed from pci tree already in the protection under pci_remove_rescan_mutex in remove_callback() before we call pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() to do the removal job. v2: 1.Rework the patchset on Yinghai's patch: [PATCH -v3] PCI: Fix racing for pci device removing via sysfs 2.Follow Bjorn's correction to move pci_bus_put() to pci_release_dev() instead. 3.Follow Jiang's suggestion to split pci_bus_get()/pci_bus_put() into a single patch.
