This is a gross hack.  Iterating through all known pci_devs to see if
this one still exists?

I reproduced the original problem, applied this patch, and verified
that it avoids the original crash.

However, it's still incorrect because now you're looking at pdev after
it's been freed. With CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y, the removal still causes
a crash in remove_callback().

Yes, there is small window, that could have bus and dev get freed...

Please check attached that should address your concerns.

You can't be serious.  This is a disgusting mess.  Checking a list
pointer for LIST_POISON1?  As far as I'm concerned, this is a waste of
my time.

Well, then need to hold the bus ref, and check bus->devices list instead.

ok, i missed that. if we can use LIST_POISON, then could be more simple.

No, we don't need that as first pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device()
already drop that reference.

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

We can just check if the device get removed from pci tree
already in the protection under pci_remove_rescan_mutex.

-v2: check if the dev->bus_list is poisoned instead to
     find out if it is removed already.
     Also add one extra ref to dev to make sure dev is not
     get freed too early.
-v4: remove not needed ref holding pointed by Gu Zheng.

I inlined your v4 patch below for convenience.

Maybe my allergic reaction to your use of LIST_POISON1 is unjustified,
but I am dubious about the idea that xhci was the only place that needed
it before now, and we just happened to find one more place in PCI that
needs it.  That doesn't make sense because good design patterns are used
many times, not just once or twice.

I thought the whole point of the get/put scheme was that if we had a
pointer to a correctly reference-counted object, we didn't need to check
whether the object was still valid because the object remains valid until
all the references are released.

Gu's "[v2 2/2] PCI: Convert alloc_pci_dev(void) to pci_alloc_dev(bus)"
patch essentially did this:

    pci_destroy_dev(struct pci_dev *dev) {
      ...
+     pci_bus_put(dev->bus)
      pci_free_resources(dev)
      put_device(&dev->dev)
    }

I think this is the wrong place to do the pci_bus_put() because the
pci_dev is reference-counted, and there may be other users that still
have valid references to it.

In this case, 10:00.0 is a bridge leading to [bus 11-1e], and 1a:01.0 is
part of that subtree.  The user removed both 10:00.0 and 1a:01.0 almost
simultaneously via sysfs and we scheduled a callback for each.

Each callback acquires a pci_dev reference, and removal of 10:00.0 and the
subtree below it, including pci_destroy_dev(1a:01.0), is done first.  The
callback to remove 1a:01.0 is still pending and has a valid reference to
the 1a:01.0 pci_dev.

Since the 1a:01.0 callback is still pending, the put_device in that first
pci_destroy_dev(1a:01.0) call decrements the ref count but doesn't release
the pci_dev.

I think the 1a:01.0 pci_dev should retain its reference to the pci_bus
for as long as the pci_dev exists, so the pci_bus_put() should go in
pci_release_dev() instead.

You are correct, you shouldn't have to worry about that.  If you have to
do something like the LIST_POISON test, something is really wrong.

It should happen in the release function for the pci device, which will
handle other users of the device.

All right, I'll take a look at the xHCI code.  From a brief glance, both
places that use LIST_POISON are handling a timed-out command.  The
command handling in xHCI needs to get completely reworked anyway, due to
other race conditions.

Were you suggesting I use the get/put scheme in the xHCI driver, or was
that for Yinghai?

I thought for Yinghai, but really, no code should have to check that
type of thing, so if the xhci driver is, it shouldn't :)

Good point.

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.

Here we move other bus_list change to pci_release_dev too to make
it consistent with bus reference change.

Also make stop device actually detach driver only, and remove
device will do device_del instead. Then also could make hostbridge
to use device_unregister to be pair with device_register before.

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

I use patchwork to keep track of things I need to look at, and I don't
think patchwork looks at attachments.  Just FYI in case I seem to be
ignoring things; it might be that they just didn't appear on my patchwork
"to-do" list.

I completely agree that gmail makes it impossible to send patches in-line.
On the other hand, sending them as attachments is easy for you but makes it
difficult for others to review and reply to them.  I'm using mutt to
comment on your patch, but eventually I'll get tired of doing the extra
work on my end :)

I tried to apply this on top of 96a3e8af5a (Linus' merge of the v3.10 PCI
changes), but it didn't apply cleanly.  I assume you'll rebase it to
v3.10-rc1 when it comes out.

Is there any reason to drop the pci_bus reference here, as opposed to
doing it after the "kfree(pci_dev)"?  We call a couple more things below,
and it's possible that they will still reference pci_dev->bus.

If it's possible that "dev->is_added == 0" here, doesn't that mean
we leaked a struct pci_dev?

For example, if we're hot-adding a device, dev->is_added is zero
between points A and B here:

    pciehp_configure_device
      pci_scan_slot
        pci_scan_single_device
          pci_scan_device
            dev = alloc_pci_dev         # A) dev->is_added == 0 here
          pci_device_add
            device_initialize
            device_add
      pci_bus_add_devices
        pci_bus_add_device
          device_attach
          dev->is_added = 1             # B) dev->is_added == 1 here

If we can get to pci_destroy_dev() for that device during the
interval between A and B, dev->is_added will be zero, and I don't
know where we will ever clean up the device.

If we *can't* get here during that interval, there shouldn't be any
need to test dev->is_added.

Yes, it's the correct way.
