Lukas Wunner 1204e35bed PCI: pciehp: Fix unprotected list iteration in IRQ handler
Commit b440bde74f ("PCI: Add pci_ignore_hotplug() to ignore hotplug
events for a device") iterates over the devices on a hotplug port's
subordinate bus in pciehp's IRQ handler without acquiring pci_bus_sem.
It is thus possible for a user to cause a crash by concurrently
manipulating the device list, e.g. by disabling slot power via sysfs
on a different CPU or by initiating a remove/rescan via sysfs.

This can't be fixed by acquiring pci_bus_sem because it may sleep.
The simplest fix is to avoid the list iteration altogether and just
check the ignore_hotplug flag on the port itself.  This works because
pci_ignore_hotplug() sets the flag both on the device as well as on its
parent bridge.

We do lose the ability to print the name of the device blocking hotplug
in the debug message, but that's probably bearable.

README

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.
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.
