Why do we even have this code to check for VGA devices? I looked (briefly) and couldn't find anything in the spec that prohibits removal of VGA devices. If we do need it (and it looks like most or all hotplug drivers copied it), isn't there still a race? Can't we have the following sequence? - pciehp_check_link_active() # returns true - Link goes down - pci_read_config_byte() # fails because link is down Bjorn > @@ -114,7 +114,7 @@ int pciehp_unconfigure_device(struct slot *p_slot) > * Ensure that no new Requests will be generated from > * the device. > */ > - if (presence) { > + if (link_active) { > pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &command); > command &= ~(PCI_COMMAND_MASTER | PCI_COMMAND_SERR); > command |= PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE; > -- > 1.7.9.5 > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
