Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] PCI: pci_slot: grab refcount on slot's 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 pci_slot are
remaining even after the parent bridge/bus of the slots are
removed. At this point, pci_slot is working with struct pci_bus
for the already disabled pci bus. This might cause something
problem. So I think we also need something mechanism to
unregister slots by pci_slot when the parent bus is removed.

Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
