If pci_remove was called for a PF with VFs, the removal of the VFs was called twice from efx_ef10_sriov_fini: one directly with pci_driver->remove and another implicit by calling pci_disable_sriov, which also perform the VFs remove. This was leading to crashing the kernel on the second attempt. Given that pci_disable_sriov already calls to pci remove function, get rid of the direct call to pci_driver->remove from the driver. 2 different ways to trigger the bug: - Create one or more VFs, then attach the PF to a virtual machine (at least with qemu/KVM) - Create one or more VFs, then remove the PF with: echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/PF_PCI_ID/remove Removing sfc module does not trigger the error, at least for me, because it removes the VF first, and then the PF.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
