Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Manage virtual NTB and PCI bus lifetime
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 15:32:38 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901063238.631166-3-den@valinux.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901063238.631166-1-den@valinux.co.jp>
The virtual PCI driver registers an ntb_dev but has no remove callback.
Unbinding the endpoint function can therefore free BARs while the NTB
device and its client still use them. It also leaves the virtual PCI
devices and root bus allocated.
Allocate an ntb_dev for each virtual PCI probe and unregister it from the
matching remove callback. Start command processing only after registration.
Publish the device for doorbell IRQs at the same point. During remove, stop
the command work and drain IRQ handlers before unregistering the device.
Retain the root bus returned by pci_scan_bus() so it can be removed on
unbind. Unregister the virtual PCI driver before releasing endpoint
resources. Stop and remove the root bus under the PCI rescan/remove lock,
then release its host bridge.
Fixes: e35f56bb0330 ("PCI: endpoint: Support NTB transfer between RC and EP")

Changes in v6:
- Rework v5 patch 5 on v7.3-rc1.
- Publish ntb_dev only after registration, and tie command work and
doorbell delivery to its lifetime.
- Retain and remove the virtual root bus, then release its host bridge.
- Drop v5 patch 4; f7245901de89 ("PCI: Check parent for NULL in
of_pci_bus_release_domain_nr()") fixed the bug it worked around.
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260226084142.2226875-6-den@valinux.co.jp/
@Frank, the code changed substantially since v5, so I did not carry your
R-b tag. I would appreciate another look.
