(1) is actually unnecessary, as I suppose hpdev should be freed at a later place in the same function hv_eject_device_work -> put_pcichild() -> kfree(hpdev). But today I think I found a refcount bug in the hot-remove case and the "kfree(hpdev)" is never called in the hot-remove case. I'll further dig into this and make some extra patches. About (2), it's a race condition that can happen when the device is being hot-removed and we're unloading the pci-hyperv driver at the same time. This is not a normal usage, so I agree it doesn't really need to go into the stables. (3) should go into the stables. I'll make 3 separate patches, and extra patches for the refcount issue, and possible other minor issues.
