Thanks! I'll make an extra patch for this.

When we're in hv_eject_device_work(), IMO hpdev->state must be 
hv_pcichild_ejecting, so I'm going to make a patch like this:

@@ -1867,10 +1867,7 @@ static void hv_eject_device_work(struct work_struct *work)

-               put_pcichild(hpdev, hv_pcidev_ref_pnp);

-       }
+       WARN_ON(hpdev->state != hv_pcichild_ejecting);

Exactly. I'll add the the optimization.

OK. Will remove it.

Will remove it.

I'm going to post a v2 patchset tomorrow.
