All touches to the PCI device must stop before the driver core remove() returns - so these pci function cannot be in the kref put release function anyhow.I'm not sure I get here. IFCVF held refcnt of its PCI parent, so it looks to me it's safe to free PCI resources in vDPA free callback?
The refcnt doesn't prevent the driver core from re-binding the pci_device to another driver. Then the refcount put would do a pci_disable_device() after another driver has started For this reason all touches to a struct pci_device must stop before remove returns. Jason
