But without this, we cannot hot-plug any other devices to this slot afterward, despite the bridge has already been removed. Below is what happens without pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). First, we hotplug a bridge. That fails, so QEMU removes this bridge: (qemu) device_add pci-bridge,id=br2,bus=br1,chassis_nr=19,addr=1 [ 9.289609] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Latch close on Slot(1-1) [ 9.291145] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Button pressed on Slot(1-1) [ 9.292705] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Card present on Slot(1-1) [ 9.294369] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: PCI slot #1-1 - powering on due to button press [ 15.529997] pci 0000:02:01.0: [1b36:0001] type 01 class 0x060400 conventional PCI bridge [ 15.533907] pci 0000:02:01.0: BAR 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x000000ff 64bit] [ 15.535802] pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 00] [ 15.538519] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0fff] [ 15.540261] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] [ 15.543486] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff 64bit pref] [ 15.547151] pci 0000:02:01.0: No bus number available for hot-added bridge [ 15.549067] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Cannot add device at 0000:02:01 [ 15.553104] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Latch open on Slot(1-1) [ 15.555246] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Card not present on Slot(1-1) Then, hot-plug an ethernet device. But the kernel still incorrectly thought the bridge is still there, and refuses this new ethernet device: (qemu) device_add e1000,bus=br1,addr=1 [ 58.163529] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Latch close on Slot(1-1) [ 58.165076] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Button pressed on Slot(1-1) [ 58.166650] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Card present on Slot(1-1) [ 58.168287] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: PCI slot #1-1 - powering on due to button press [ 64.677492] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Device 0000:02:01.0 already exists at 0000:02:01, cannot hot-add [ 64.680007] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Cannot add device at 0000:02:01 [ 64.682802] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Latch open on Slot(1-1) [ 64.684353] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Card not present on Slot(1-1) Best regards, Nam
