Now we stop the pci_bus->devices in reverse order, but in pcie_aspm_exit_link_state(), we only would do something when the device is the last one. void pcie_aspm_exit_link_state(struct pci_dev *pdev) { ... if (!list_is_last(&pdev->bus_list, &parent->subordinate->devices)) goto out; ... } So if we have the following pcie tree, system may crash. [b7-bd]--+-02.0-[bb-bd]--+-00.0-[bc-bd]----01.0-[bd]----00.0 PLX Technology, Inc. Device 0002 +-00.1 PLX Technology, Inc. Device 0002 +-00.2 PLX Technology, Inc. Device 0002 +-00.3 PLX Technology, Inc. Device 0002 \-00.4 PLX Technology, Inc. Device 0002 In this case, we would stop bb:00.4 before bb:00.0, so when we touch bb:00.4, we would call pcie_aspm_exit_link_state(), and free the pcie_link_state. So when we want to stop bd:00.0 and free related pcie_link_state, it would try to access the parent pcie_link_state which has been freed.
