Hi Yinghai, The third patch make pci_stop_dev call pci_disable_sriov(dev). It looks asymmetrical, because pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN) always be called by device driver. Why not work around this in device driver like ixgbe? I'm not familiar with SRIOV, so I'm just a bit puzzled. Thanks! Yijing. ------------------------------------------------------------ Some driver (like ixgbe) does not call pci_disable_sriov() if sriov is enabled via /sys/.../sriov_numvfs setting. ixgbe does allow driver for PF get detached, but still have VFs around. But how about PF get removed via /sys or pciehp finally? During hot-remove, VF will still hold one ref to PF and it prevent PF to be removed. That make the next hot-add fails, as old PF dev struct is still around. We need to add pci_disable_sriov() calling during stop PF . Need this one for v3.11 -v2: Accoring to Bjorn, move that calling to pci_stop_dev.
