Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] PCI,pciehp: avoid add a device already exist during
pciehp_resume
Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for your review and comments!

Yes, I only to make some changes for case 3/4.

I'm not sure the result of driver .remove() method to poke at the non-existent device.
If driver .remove() method cannot detect the real device, remove action will be block ?
If the slot support surprise hot remove, this action maybe safe. right?
If the slot does not support surprise hot remove, but the device was already removed,
we seem to have no other way to clean the stale data related to the old device.
Now if we check adapter status in slot and found adapter is non existent, pciehp resume
call pciehp_disable_slot() , in pciehp_disable_slot() function, we will check latch status,
I guess this case latch is open(because slot is empty), this action will abort.
But I have no platform to test it.

Ah, this is issue.
What about power off slot first, then call the old driver's remove() method
will not touch the new physical device. After the old driver's remove() cleanup,
we call pciehp_enable_slot() to power on and enable the new device.

Mainly to avoid the redundant device add, the same like the changes for case 4

OK, I will split this changes into a new patch.

Will add failure return check, thanks.

Yes, this is a really issue, so what about firstly power off the slot before call
.remove() method for the old device.

Agree.
