[...] > I think we're seeing the same issue with a Linux VM on Hyper-V. Are you still seeing this issue happen? If so, does it happen often? We haven't had a report from a system that runs as a hypervisor guest before. I also assume this is x86 or x86_64 platform, correct? > Here the kernel is > https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+git/bionic/tree/?h=Ubuntu-azure-5.4-5.4.0-1061.64_18.04.1 This is quite an old kernel, however the 5.4 is a long-term kernel, and therefore we need to make sure that it would also work properly. > '/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A03:00/device:07/VMBUS:01/47505500-0003-0000-3130-444531334632/pci0003:00/0003:00:00.0/config' Following the commit e1d3f3268b0e ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "config" to static attribute"), the issue particularly with the "config" attribute should be resolved, thus more modern kernel versions are no long suffer from the race condition related to this specific and some other problematic attributes. We quite likely have to back-port these changes to a number of older long-term kernels. I am going to look into it. Hopefully, once the patches land in upstream long-term kernels, then distributions would be able to cherry-pick them and apply to their kernels releases. Krzysztof
