There are multiple methods to trigger PCI hotplug requests/operations
concurrently, such as:
1. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI core subsystem
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../remove
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../rescan
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../pci_bus/ssss:bb/rescan
/sys/bus/pci/rescan
2. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI hotplug subsystem
/sys/bus/pci/slots/xx/power
3. PCI hotplug events triggered by PCI Hotplug Controllers
4. ACPI hotplug events for PCI host bridges
5. Driver binding/unbinding events
binding/unbinding pci drivers with SR-IOV support

With current implementation, the PCI core subsystem doesn't support
concurrent hotplug operations yet. The existing pci_bus_sem lock only
protects several lists in struct pci_bus, such as children list,
devices list, but it doesn't protect the pci_bus or pci_dev structure
themselves.

Let's take pci_remove_bus_device() as an example, which are used by
PCI hotplug drivers to hot-remove PCI devices. Currently all these
are free running without any protection, so it can't support reentrance.
pci_remove_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_devices()
->pci_stop_dev()
->pci_proc_detach_device()
->pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files()
->device_unregister()
->pcie_aspm_exit_link_state()
->__pci_remove_bus_device()
->__pci_remove_behind_bridge()
->pci_remove_bus()
->device_unregister()
->pci_destroy_dev()
->pci_free_resources()
->pci_dev_put()

There are similar issues on hot-adding side. It may also cause trouble
if pci_remove_bus_device() and pci_rescan_bus() are called concurrently.

So this patchset introduces a recursive rwsem to globally serialize all
PCI hotplug operations. It also fixes some minor bugs in current code.
Following PCI hotplug drivers/interfaces have been enhanced with this
new lock.
1. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI core subsystem
2. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI hotplug subsystem
3. pciehp
4. shpchp
5. cpcihp_generic and cpcihp_zt5550
6. fakephp

We have tested pciehp and fakephp, but lack of hardware platforms to test
other affected hotplug drivers.

There are still several tasks on the TODO list:
1) all other PCI hotplug driver in drivers/pci/hotplug directory
2) SR-IOV
3) acpiphp (plan to do this based on Yinghai's PCI root bus hotplug gate)
4) pci_root (plan to do this based on Yinghai's PCI root bus hotplug gate)

V2: refine commit messages and hide sys interface 'remove' and 'rescan' of
SR-IOV virtural devices

Jiang Liu (18):
PCI: introduce pci_bus_get()/pci_bus_put() to hide PCI implementation
details
PCI: introduce recursive rwsem to serialize PCI hotplug operations
PCI: replace pci_remove_rescan_mutex with the PCI hotplug lock
PCI: serialize hotplug operations triggered by PCI hotplug sysfs
interfaces
PCI: correctly flush workqueue when destroy pcie hotplug controller
PCI: prepare for serializing hotplug operations triggered by pciehp
driver
PCI: serialize hotplug operaitons triggered by the pciehp driver
PCI: fix two race windows when probing/removing SHPC controller
PCI: correctly flush workqueues and timer when destroy SHPC
controller
PCI: serialize hotplug operaitons triggered by the shpchp driver
PCI: release IO resource in error handling path in
cpcihp_generic_init()
PCI: clean up all resources in error handling path in
zt5550_hc_init_one()
PCI: trivial code clean up in cpci_hotplug_core.c
PCI: fix race windows when shutting down cpcihp controller
PCI: hold a reference count to the PCI bus used by cpcihp drivers
PCI: serialize PCI hotplug operations triggered by cpcihp drivers
PCI: serialize PCI hotplug operations triggered by fakephp drivers
PCI: hide sys interface 'remove' and 'rescan' for SR-IOV virtual
devices

Yinghai Lu (1):
PCI, sysfs: Use device_type and attr_groups with pci dev
