-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Miller The PCI sysfs attributes are created after the initial PCI bus scan. With the addition of more return value checking and assertions in the device and sysfs layers we now can get dumps like this on sparc64: [ 20.135032] Call Trace: [ 20.135042] [0000000000537f88] pci_remove_bus_device+0x30/0xc0 [ 20.135076] [000000000078f890] pci_fill_in_pbm_cookies+0x98/0x440 [ 20.135109] [000000000042e828] sabre_scan_bus+0x230/0x400 [ 20.135139] [000000000078c710] pcibios_init+0x58/0xa0 [ 20.135159] [0000000000416f14] init+0x9c/0x2e0 [ 20.135190] [0000000000417a50] kernel_thread+0x38/0x60 [ 20.135211] [0000000000417170] rest_init+0x18/0x40 [ 20.135514] PCI0(PBMB): Bus running at 33MHz It's triggering because removal of the "config" PCI sysfs file for the device fails. On sparc64, after probing the device, we'll delete the PCI device via pci_remove_bus_device() if we cannot find the firmware device tree node corresponding to it. This is fine, but at this point the sysfs files for the PCI device won't be setup yet. So we should not try to do anything in pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files() if pci_sysfs_init() has not run yet.
