I start a binary which should flash the FPGA and re-enumare the PCI-BUS and find a new device. It works most of the time. With SLUB debug it crashes on each iteration with something like this (compressed output): | pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000 | Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e | Faulting instruction address: 0x602f5328 | Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] | Workqueue: events aer_isr | GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0 | NIP [602f5328] pci_walk_bus+0xd4/0x104 Register 25 has the user-after magic. As it turns out, the old PCIe device is leaving, generates an error before it left, aer_irq() is fired, it schedules a work item. What happens now is that free_irq() is invoked, all resources are gone *before* the aes_isr() work item is completed. So to fix this, I flush the workqueue to ensure that there is no more work pending. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Bjorn, this could deserve a stable tag.
