Summary
PCI: pnv_php: Clean up allocated IRQs on unplug
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: pnv_php: Clean up allocated IRQs on unplug

When the root of a nested PCIe bridge configuration is unplugged, the pnv_php driver leaked the allocated IRQ resources for the child bridges' hotplug event notifications, resulting in a panic.

Fix this by walking all child buses and deallocating all its IRQ resources before calling pcihpremove_devices().

Also modify the lifetime of the workqueue at struct pnvphpslot::wq so that it is only destroyed in pnvphpfreeslot(), instead of pnvphpdisableirq(). This is required since pnvphpdisable_irq() will now be called by workers triggered by hot unplug interrupts, so the workqueue needs to stay allocated.

The abridged kernel panic that occurs without this patch is as follows:
