Earlier yes, but perhaps not first. Right now the order is:
1) pci_common_exit
2) unmap some memory, free some buses
3) tear down MSI infra-structure
I suppose if the MSI IRQ handler is guaranteed to never touch the
stuff torn down by (2) then the code is fine as-is, but it might be
clearer to do the following instead:
1) pci_common_exit
2) tear down MSI infra-structure (and indeed unregister non-MSI IRQ too)
3) unmap some memory, free some buses
... since then no matter what, no IRQ can be handled before any
resource is torn down.
also, perhaps when initially responding I missed that
pci_common_exit() is what forcibly removed all PCIe "client" device
drivers; in other sub-systems, client devices take refcounts on their
resources, so the resource can't be .remove()d until all the objects
referencing them have been manually removed, but PCIe apparently works
the other way around - removing the controller removes all the users?
