Doing "echo <that device address> > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" after the
remove did not work for me, but maybe the format of the device address
needs to be different. Anyway, the sequence
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<some device under the slot>/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
still triggers the panic as you mentioned above.

I agree that the subordinate devices are not causing the issue, still
I need to make pci_slot_resetable() return false in our case.

So what if we add an additional check like:

diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci.c b/drivers/pci/pci.c
index fdf65a6..389db4b 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/pci.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/pci.c
@@ -4389,6 +4389,9 @@ static bool pci_slot_resetable(struct pci_slot *slot)
{
struct pci_dev *dev;

+ if (slot->bus->self & PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET)
+ return false;
+
list_for_each_entry(dev, &slot->bus->devices, bus_list) {
if (!dev->slot || dev->slot != slot)
continue;
