EEH device state is currently removed (by eeh_remove_device()) during the device release handler, which is invoked as the device's reference count drops to zero. This may take some time, or forever, as other threads may hold references. However, the PCI device state is released synchronously by pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). This mismatch causes problems, for example the device may be re-discovered as a new device before the release handler has been called, leaving the PCI and EEH state mismatched. So instead, call eeh_remove_device() from the bus device removal handlers, which are called synchronously in the removal path.

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.
