commit 4d8c8bd6f2062c9988817183a91fe2e623c8aa5e upstream.

Occasionaly PV guests would crash with:

which was the result of two things:

When we call pci_scan_root_bus we would pass in 'sd' (sysdata)
pointer which was an 'pcifront_sd' structure. However in the
pci_device_add it expects that the 'sd' is 'struct sysdata' and
sets the dev->node to what is in sd->node (offset 4):

set_dev_node(&dev->dev, pcibus_to_node(bus));

 __pcibus_to_node(const struct pci_bus *bus)
{
        const struct pci_sysdata *sd = bus->sysdata;

        return sd->node;
}

However our structure was pcifront_sd which had nothing at that
offset:

struct pcifront_sd {
        int                        domain;    /*     0     4 */
        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
        struct pcifront_device *   pdev;      /*     8     8 */
}

That is an hole - filled with garbage as we used kmalloc instead of
kzalloc (the second problem).

This patch fixes the issue by:
 1) Use kzalloc to initialize to a well known state.
 2) Put 'struct pci_sysdata' at the start of 'pcifront_sd'. That
    way access to the 'node' will access the right offset.
