AER error handling walks the PCI topology below a root port, saving pointers of the pci_dev structs affected by the error along the way. At the same time, the pcie hotplug driver could be freeing those very same structures, causing the AER driver to reference freed memory. This series fixes this by synchroniziing the aer driver with the pci hotplug driver during. The final patch is the one that ultimately provides the locking by having AER lock the same pci lock rescan/remove mutex as the pciehp driver. The first three patches are prepping to make it safe for the aer bottom half handler to hold that lock.
