Hi Thomas,
In my hardware, there is i2c power control chip for PCI card, I just
powered down using i2c command .
Hi Gokul,
I see. That is why we normally didn't see this issue. Let me dig around
to see if we have any machine that we can do similar thing.

Hi All,
I am suspecting a possible race condition in the kernel between
PCI driver and AER handling.
Because of the same kernel panic happens from worker thread
which handles bottom half of aer irq.
I am seeing this issue when I suddenly power off PCI card which
supports/enabled PCIE AER error reporting.
While powering off PCI device, AER driver will get AER IRQ for
the device, from AER IRQ handler, it will cache AER error code
and schedule worker thread to handle error.
Hi Gokul,
It may be an issue in the AER driver. How do you power off your
device? I've never seen this issue with normal shutdown nor "echo 0
> /sys/bus/pci/slots/xx/power"
Cheers,
Thomas
The PCIe device will get removed from PCI tree before worker
thread completes its task and kernel panic is happening when
worker thread tries to access PCI device's config space.

I have tested it on kernel 3.10 . But from source i could see
that this case is still relevant for latest Linux source .
Can anybody tell me if this is an issue with AER driver in linux ?
