Re: [PATCH] PCI: Separate stop and remove devices in pciehp

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
