I know I suggested this strategy, but I think this ended up being more
complicated than it's worth.
The problem code in pcie_do_fatal_recovery() essentially looks like
this:
pcie_do_fatal_recovery(dev)
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(dev);
reset_link(dev);
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(dev);
pcie_wait_for_link(dev, ...);
pci_uevent_ers(dev, ...);
pci_info(dev, ...);
Some of this depends on the device type (bridge vs. endpoint) and the
caller (AER vs. DPC), but given the right conditions, we can exercise
all the above calls.
I think it is just broken that we keep doing things with "dev" after
removing it. IMHO this code should be restructured to avoid that.
I think fiddling with the refcount as in this patch adds too much
complexity and makes it look like the current structure of
pcie_do_fatal_recovery() is reasonable when it really isn't.
But restructuring pcie_do_fatal_recovery() is too big a project to do
before v4.18, and we need to fix this problem. I propose that we
merge your v2 patch for now, so at least the band-aid is in the
function that I think is broken.
I *would* like to reduce the scope of the get/put as in the patch
below, though, so it is contained inside the rescan_remove lock.
Could you try it and make sure it's still enough to avoid the problem?
If it is, I'll add your sign-off and get this in v4.18.

PCI/AER: Work around use-after-free in pcie_do_fatal_recovery()
When an fatal error is received by a non-bridge device, the device is
removed, and pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() deallocates the device
structure. The freed device structure is used by subsequent code to send
uevents and print messages.
Hold a reference on the device until we're finished using it. This is not
an ideal fix because pcie_do_fatal_recovery() should not use the device at
all after removing it, but that's too big a project for right now.
