Hi, If you turn off a PCI device whose driver has set affinity_hint, you will get warning message which does _not_ explain the reason why it appeared from the user's point of view.
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/65/power Apr 28 20:29:39 localhost kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Apr 28 20:29:39 localhost kernel: WARNING: at kernel/irq/manage.c:1002 __free_irq+0x22d/0x250() (Tainted: P --------------- ) (snip) Users will misunderstand some problem has happened even though he or she succeeded to turn off the device. I suppose this warning was originally for a debug purpose for driver developers and has incidentally been left. Just remove the warning is good and enough.
