Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] PCI Hotplug: acpiphp: grab refcount on p2p subordinate
 bus

I confirmed this patch fix the kernel oops problem I reported.

Reviewed-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@...fujitsu.com>
Tested-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@...fujitsu.com>

By the way, /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot> directory by acpiphp are
remaining even after the parent bridge/bus of the slots are
removed. At this point, acpiphp is working with struct pci_bus
for the already disabled pci bus. I guess some operation against
the files under /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot> directory would cause
something problems. So I think we also need something mechanism
to unregister acpiphp slots when the parent bus is removed.

Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
