Concurrency removal and rescan should be controlled by : 

   pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked()
       pci_lock_rescan_remove() 

And, in the report, the stack traces are on the same CPU and PID. 



What I think is happening is that we did a couple of remove/rescan
of the same PHB. The problem is that ->irq_map is not reallocated
the second time because the PHB is re-scanned differently on the 
PowerNV platform. At the second remove, the ->irq_map being not NULL, 
we try to kfree it again and the allocator warns of a double free :/

This works fine on pseries/KVM because the PHB is never removed and 
on pseries/pHyp, pcibios_scan_phb() is called at PHB hotplug. But on 
PowerNV, pcibios_scan_phb() is only called at probe/boot time and 
not at hotplug time :/

I was a good thing to spot that before merge. But I need to revise 
that patch again.

Thanks,

C.
