I'm not really familiar with the AER driver, but the problem is
actually easy to spot:
find_source_device() walks the hierarchy and saves a pointer to
pci_dev's in an array. That array is later traversed and the
pci_dev's are accessed.
The solution is to acquire a ref on each device in add_error_device():
- e_info->dev[e_info->error_dev_num] = dev;
+ e_info->dev[e_info->error_dev_num] = pci_dev_get(dev);
Then release the ref aer_process_err_devices() by calling pci_dev_put().
I believe there's an ongoing refactoring of the AER driver and the
issue may be addressed in the course of it, but as a quick fix for
an ancient v3.10 kernel, the above should do the trick.
HTH,
Lukas
