When an fatal error is recevied by a non-bridge device, the device is removed from the pci bus and the device structure is freed by pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). The freed device structure is used in the subsequence pci_info() to printout the message. It causes a corrupt printout. If slub_debug=FZP is used, it will cause following protection fault after a fatal error is received. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 104 PID: 1077 Comm: kworker/104:1 Not tainted 4.18.0-rc1ttai #5 Hardware name: Oracle Corporation ORACLE SERVER X5-4/ASSY,MB WITH TRAY, BIOS 36030500 11/16/2016 Workqueue: events aer_isr RIP: 0010:__dev_printk+0x2e/0x90 Code: 00 55 49 89 d1 48 89 e5 53 48 89 fb 48 83 ec 18 48 85 f6 74 5f 4c 8b 46 50 4d 85 c0 74 2b 48 8b 86 88 00 00 00 48 85 c0 74 25 <48> 8b 08 0f be 7b 01 48 c7 c2 83 d4 71 99 31 c0 83 ef 30 e8 4a ff RSP: 0018:ffffb6b88fa57cf8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBX: ffffffff996ba720 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffffb6b88fa57d28 RSI: ffff8c4d7af94128 RDI: ffffffff996ba720 RBP: ffffb6b88fa57d18 R08: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b R09: ffffb6b88fa57d28 R10: ffffffff99baca80 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8c4d7ae95990 R13: ffff8c2d7a840008 R14: ffff8c4d7af94088 R15: ffff8c4d7af90008 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8c2d7fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f22c0839000 CR3: 000000136bc0a001 CR4: 00000000001606e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: ? pci_bus_add_device+0x4f/0xa0 _dev_info+0x6c/0x90 pcie_do_fatal_recovery+0x1d5/0x230 aer_isr+0x3e5/0x950 ? add_timer_on+0xcc/0x160 process_one_work+0x168/0x370 worker_thread+0x4f/0x3d0 kthread+0x105/0x140 ? max_active_store+0x80/0x80 ? kthread_bind+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 To fix this issue, pci_dev_get is used to keep the device around. After all error devices are processed, pci_dev_put is then called to decrement the reference count for all error devices.
