[ Upstream commit 76002d8b48c4b08c9bd414517dd295e132ad910b ]
Commit 0e7df22401a3 ("PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control
VF driver binding") allows the user to specify that drivers for VFs of
a PF should not be probed, but it actually causes pci_device_probe() to
return success back to the driver core in this case. Therefore by all
sysfs appearances the device is bound to a driver, the driver link from
the device exists as does the device link back from the driver, yet the
driver's probe function is never called on the device. We also fail to
do any sort of cleanup when we're prohibited from probing the device,
the IRQ setup remains in place and we even hold a device reference.
Instead, abort with errno before any setup or references are taken when
pci_device_can_probe() prevents us from trying to probe the device.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
