This is a subtle issue that we've tried to fix before, but we've never
had a satisfactory solution, so I hope you've figured out the right
fix.
I'll include some links to previous discussion. This patch is very
similar to [2], which we didn't actually apply. We did apply the
patch from [3] as 40f11adc7cd9 ("PCI: Avoid race while enabling
upstream bridges"), but it caused the regressions reported in [4,5],
so we reverted it with 0f50a49e3008 ("Revert "PCI: Avoid race while
enabling upstream bridges"").
I think the underlying design problem is that we have a driver for
device B calling pci_enable_device(), and it is changing the state of
device A (an upstream bridge). The model generally is that a driver
should only touch the device it is bound to.
It's tricky to get the locking right when several children of device A
all need to operate on A.
That's all to say I'll have to think carefully about this particular
patch, so I'll go on to the others and come back to this one.
