Hi,

The function */pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot /*will increase the reference count, and the caller must decrement the reference

After add pci_dev_put, the counter decreased back to 0 when remove pci devices..

Good catch!

But rather than the open-coded pci_lock_rescan_remove, isn't pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked() the right thing? Or should we rather lock the whole procedure, including pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot? Please make sure to provide some reasoning for that when writing a patch.

TIA!
