Many PCI host controller drivers aren't prepared to have their devices unbound from them forcefully (e.g., through /sys/.../<driver>/unbind), as they don't provide any driver .remove callback, where they'd detach the root bus, release resources, etc. Keeping the driver built in (i.e., not a loadable module) is not enough; and providing no .remove callback just means we don't do any teardown. To rule out the possibility of unbinding a device via sysfs, we need to set the ".suppress_bind_attrs" field. I found the suspect drivers via the following search: git grep -l platform_driver $(git grep -L -e '\.remove' -e suppress_bind_attrs drivers/pci/) Then I inspected them to ensure that (a) they set up a PCI bus in their probe() and (b) they don't have a remove() callback for undoing the setup Suggested-by: Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
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.
