Every method in struct device_driver or structures derived from it like struct pci_driver MUST provide exclusion vs the driver's ->remove() method, usually by using device_lock(). Protect use of pci_driver->sriov_configure() by holding the device lock while calling it. The PCI core sets the pci_dev->driver pointer in local_pci_probe() before calling ->probe() and only clears it after ->remove(). This means driver's ->sriov_configure() callback will happily race with probe() and remove(), most likely leading to BUGs, since drivers don't expect this. Remove the iov lock completely, since we remove the last user.

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.
