Patch #1 fixes a memory leak caused by incorrectly-maintained hpdev->refs. Patch #2 and #3 make sure the "slot" is removed in all the scenarios. Without them, in the quick hot-add/hot-remove test, systemd-dev may easily crash when trying to access a dangling sys file in /sys/bus/pci/slots/: "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request". BTW, Patch #2 was posted on Feb 7, 2019, and this is the v2: the change to hv_eject_device_work() in v1 is removed, as the change is only needed when we hot-remove the device and remove the pci-hyperv driver at the same time. It looks more work is required to make this scenaro work correctly, and since removing the driver is not really a "usual" usage, we can address this scenario in the future. Please review the patchset.
