This patchset addresses a couple of errors that might happen during PCI device remove (e.g., PCI hotplug, PowerVM DLPAR), which prevent the successful removal and re-addition of the adapter to the system, and cause an oops and/or invalid DMA access (triggers an EEH event). It allowed several cycles of PCI device add/remove with ongoing I/O, to complete successfully without triggering oopses or EEH events. Verified on v4.9-rc3.
