<title>s390/pci: Fix duplicate pci_dev_put() in disable_slot() when PF has child VFs</title>

<content type='text'>
With commit bcb5d6c76903 ("s390/pci: introduce lock to synchronize state
of zpci_dev's") the code to ignore power off of a PF that has child VFs
was changed from a direct return to a goto to the unlock and
pci_dev_put() section. The change however left the existing pci_dev_put()
untouched resulting in a doubple put. This can subsequently cause a use
after free if the struct pci_dev is released in an unexpected state.
Fix this by removing the extra pci_dev_put().

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

PCIe hotplug can operate in poll mode without interrupt handlers using a
polling kthread only.  eb34da60edee ("PCI: pciehp: Disable hotplug
interrupt during suspend") failed to consider that and enables HPIE
(Hot-Plug Interrupt Enable) unconditionally when resuming the Port.

Only set HPIE if non-poll mode is in use. This makes
pcie_enable_interrupt() match how pcie_enable_notification() already
handles HPIE.

<id>e3260237aaadc9799107ccb940c6688195c4518d</id>
<content type='text'>
Hot-removal of nested PCI hotplug ports suffers from a long-standing race
condition which can lead to a deadlock:  A parent hotplug port acquires
pci_lock_rescan_remove(), then waits for pciehp to unbind from a child
hotplug port.  Meanwhile that child hotplug port tries to acquire
pci_lock_rescan_remove() as well in order to remove its own children.

The deadlock only occurs if the parent acquires pci_lock_rescan_remove()
first, not if the child happens to acquire it first.

Several workarounds to avoid the issue have been proposed and discarded
over the years, e.g.:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/4c882e25194ba8282b78fe963fec8faae7cf23eb.1529173804.git.lukas@wunner.de/

A proper fix is being worked on, but needs more time as it is nontrivial
and necessarily intrusive.

Recent commit 9d573d19547b ("PCI: pciehp: Detect device replacement during
system sleep") provokes more frequent occurrence of the deadlock when
removing more than one Thunderbolt device during system sleep.  The commit
sought to detect device replacement, but also triggered on device removal.
Differentiating reliably between replacement and removal is impossible
because pci_get_dsn() returns 0 both if the device was removed, as well as
if it was replaced with one lacking a Device Serial Number.

Avoid the more frequent occurrence of the deadlock by checking whether the
hotplug port itself was hot-removed.  If so, there's no sense in checking
whether its child device was replaced.

This works because the -&gt;resume_noirq() callback is invoked in top-down
order for the entire hierarchy:  A parent hotplug port detecting device
replacement (or removal) marks all children as removed using
pci_dev_set_disconnected() and a child hotplug port can then reliably
detect being removed.

The PCI hotplug core contains five has_*_file() functions to determine
whether a certain sysfs file shall be added (or removed) for a given
hotplug slot.

The functions receive a struct pci_slot pointer which they have to
dereference back to a struct hotplug_slot.

Avoid by passing them a struct hotplug_slot pointer directly.

The PCI hotplug core contains five has_*_file() functions to determine
whether a certain sysfs file shall be added (or removed) for a given
hotplug slot.

The functions perform NULL pointer checks for the hotplug_slot and its
hotplug_slot_ops.  However the callers already perform these checks:

  pci_hp_register()
    __pci_hp_register()
      __pci_hp_initialize()

  pci_hp_deregister()
    pci_hp_del()

The only way to actually trigger these checks is to call pci_hp_add()
without having called pci_hp_initialize().

Amend pci_hp_add() to catch that and drop the now superfluous NULL
pointer checks in has_*_file().

Drop the same superfluous checks from pci_hp_create_module_link(),
which is (only) called from pci_hp_add().
