[PATCH 4/7] PCI: Fix racing for pci device removing via sysfs

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Mon May 13 2013 - 22:29:27 EST


Gu found nested removing through
echo -n 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:10\:00.0/remove ; echo -n 1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:1a\:01.0/remove

will cause kernel crash as bus get freed.

We have one patch that will let device hold bus ref to prevent it from
being freed, but that will still generate warning.

Bjorn pointed out that pci_dev should retain its reference to the pci_bus
for as long as the pci_dev exists, so the release reference should go in
pci_release_dev() instead.

At last we will not need to touch pci-sysfs bits.

-v6: split other changes to other patches.
