If a PCI bridge with an ACPIPHP context attached is removed via sysfs, the code path executed as a result is the following: pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked pci_remove_bus pcibios_remove_bus acpi_pci_remove_bus acpiphp_remove_slots cleanup_bridge put_bridge free_bridge acpiphp_put_context (for each child, under context lock) kfree (child context) Now, if a hotplug notify is dispatched for one of the bridge's children and the timing is such that handle_hotplug_event() for that notify is executed while free_bridge() above is running, the get_bridge(context->func.parent) in handle_hotplug_event() will not really help, because it is too late to prevent the bridge from going away and the child's context may be freed before hotplug_event_work() scheduled from handle_hotplug_event() dereferences the pointer to it passed via the data argument. That will cause a kernel crash to happpen in hotplug_event_work(). To prevent that from happening, make handle_hotplug_event() check the is_going_away flag of the function's parent bridge (under acpiphp_context_lock) and bail out if it's set. Also, make cleanup_bridge() set the bridge's is_going_away flag under acpiphp_context_lock so that it cannot be changed between the check and the subsequent get_bridge(context->func.parent) in handle_hotplug_event(). Then, in the above scenario, handle_hotplug_event() will notice that context->func.parent->is_going_away is already set and it will exit immediately preventing the crash from happening.
