Unlike default access to config space through sysfs, the VPD read and write functions don't actively manage the runtime power management state of the device during access. Since commit 7ab5e10eda02 ("vfio/pci: Move the unused device into low power state with runtime PM"), the vfio-pci driver will use runtime power management and release unused devices to make use of low power states. Attempting to access VPD information in D3cold can result in incorrect information or kernel crashes depending on the system behavior. Wrap the VPD read/write bin attribute handlers in runtime PM and take into account the potential quirk to select the correct device to wake.

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.
