Dear Laurent,
Thank you for your quick reply. We used qemu-7.1, but it is reproducible
with qemu from v6.2 to the recent v8.0 release candidates.
I found that it's introduced by the commit 9323f892b39 (between v6.2.0-rc2
and v6.2.0-rc3).
If it doesn't break anything else, it suffices to remove the line below
from acpi_pcihp_device_unplug_request_cb():
pdev->qdev.pending_deleted_event = true;
but you may have a reason to keep it. First of all, I'll open a bug in the
bug tracker and let you know.
Best regards,
Yu Zhang
