Hi All,


I am suspecting a possible race condition in the kernel between PCI driver
and AER handling.

Because of the same kernel panic happens from worker thread which handles
bottom half of aer irq.


I am seeing this issue when I suddenly power off PCI card which
supports/enabled PCIE AER error reporting.

While powering off PCI device, AER driver will get AER IRQ for the device,
from AER IRQ handler, it will cache AER error code and schedule worker
thread to handle error.

The PCIe device will get removed from PCI tree before worker thread
completes its task and kernel panic is  happening when worker thread tries
to access PCI device's config space.



Issue:

I have tested it on kernel 3.10 . But from source i could see that this
case is still relevant for latest Linux source .


Can anybody tell me if this is an issue with AER driver in linux ?
