  Requesting Canonical kernel team apply

  Recent bug activity recap:

  == Comment: #17 - Guo Wen Shan  - 2016-02-08 22:40:35 ==
  Tentative patch sent to Andrew for verification. I'm putting a note here about the root cause: Each PE (struct eeh_pe) instance is tracking the primary bus by "pbus". When we have full hotplug as EEH recovery, the PE instance won't be refreshed. So the "pbus" is still dereferencing the stale PCI bus. Access to that at later pointer will cause kernel crash.

  The fix, as the patch sent to Andrew for verification, introduces
  another EEH PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS). That flag represents the
  validity of eeh_pe::pbus. Before unplugging in full hotplug case, the
  flag is cleared so that the eeh_pe::pbus can be updated at plugging
  time. I will send the patch to linux-ppc-dev for review after Andrew
  verified it helps.
