This causes a regression\nin reboot/shutdown scenario because in this case callback\niavf_shutdown() is called and this callback detaches the device,\nmakes it down if it is running and sets its state to __IAVF_REMOVE.\nLater shutdown callback of associated PF driver (e.g. ice_shutdown)\nis called. That callback calls among other things sriov_disable()\nthat calls indirectly iavf_remove() (see stack trace below).\nAs the adapter state is already __IAVF_REMOVE then the mentioned\nloop is end-less and shutdown process hangs.\n\nThe patch fixes this by checking adapter's state at the beginning\nof iavf_remove() and skips the rest of the function if the adapter\nis already in remove state (shutdown is in progress).\n\nReproducer:\n1. Create VF on PF driven by ice or i40e driver\n2. Ensure that the VF is bound to iavf driver\n3.
