Summary

In the Linux kernel PCI iproc driver, root bus removal is not protected by the pci_rescan_remove_lock, which can race with concurrent rescan or hotplug operations triggered via sysfs. The fix holds the lock while stopping and removing the root bus.

Risk Assessment

The race may lead to use-after-free issues or system crashes. This affects systems with iproc PCI controllers.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix.
