Today, this is how all the hotplug and unplug events work:
Hotplug / Removal needs to be done
=> Set slot->state (protected by slot->lock) to either
POWERON_STATE (for enabling) or POWEROFF_STATE (for disabling).
=> Submit the work item for pciehp_power_thread() to slot->wq.
Problem:
There is a problem if the hotplug events can happen fast enough that
they do not give SW enough time to add or remove the new devices.
=> Assume: Event for unplug comes (e.g. surprise removal). But
before the pciehp_power_thread() work item was executed, the
card was replaced by another card, causing surprise hotplug event.
=> What goes wrong:
=> The hot-removal event sets slot->state to POWEROFF_STATE, and
schedules the pciehp_power_thread().
=> The hot-add event sets slot->state to POWERON_STATE, and
schedules the pciehp_power_thread().
=> Now the pciehp_power_thread() is scheduled twice, and on both
occasions it will find POWERON_STATE and will try to add the
devices on the slot, and will fail complaining that the devices
already exist.
=> Why this is a problem: If the device was replaced between the hot
removal and hot-add, then we should unload the old driver and
reload the new one. This does not happen today. The kernel or the
driver is not even aware that the device was replaced.
The problem is that the pciehp_power_thread() only looks at the
slot->state which would only contain the *latest* state - not
the actual event (add / remove) that was the intent of the IRQ
handler who submitted the work.
What this patch does:
=> Hotplug events pass on an actual request (for addition or removal)
to pciehp_power_thread() which is local to that work item
submission.
=> pciehp_power_thread() does not need to look at slote->state and
hence no locks needed in that.
=> Essentially this results in all the hotplug and unplug events
"replayed" by pciehp_power_thread().
