From: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 22c8fd71d3a5e6fe584ccc2c1e8760e5baefd5aa ] The iavf watchdog task overrides adapter->state to __IAVF_RESETTING when it detects a pending reset. Then schedules iavf_reset_task() which takes care of the reset. The reset task is capable of handling the reset without changing adapter->state. In fact we lose the state information when the watchdog task prematurely changes the adapter state. This may lead to a crash if instead of the reset task the iavf_remove() function gets called before the reset task. In that case (if we were in state __IAVF_RUNNING previously) the iavf_remove() function triggers iavf_close() which fails to close the device because of the incorrect state information. This may result in a crash due to pending interrupts. kernel BUG at drivers/pci/msi.c:357!
