Do you mean the .reset_notify() method in struct pci_error_handlers?
I don't see a "notify_reset" symbol.
Can you elaborate on exactly how this race happens? I'm trying to
figure out whether this is also a problem or potential problem with
other reset paths like pci_try_reset_function(), pci_reset_bus(),
pci_try_reset_bus(), pci_reset_slot(), and pci_try_reset_slot().
What does the race look like when it happens? Oops, panic, etc?
Can this also be triggered via the sysfs "reset" file?
