From 3c6e6ae770f338ef3e54c5823c21063204f53537 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gu Zheng Date: Sat, 25 May 2013 21:48:30 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Introduce pci_alloc_dev(struct pci_bus*) to replace alloc_pci_dev() Here we introduce a new interface to replace alloc_pci_dev(): struct pci_dev *pci_alloc_dev(struct pci_bus *bus) It takes a "struct pci_bus *" argument, so we can alloc a PCI device on a target PCI bus, and it acquires a reference on the pci_bus. We use pci_alloc_dev(NULL) to simplify the old alloc_pci_dev(), and keep it for a while but mark it as __deprecated. Holding a reference to the pci_bus ensures that referencing pci_dev->bus is valid as long as the pci_dev is valid. [bhelgaas: keep existing "return error early" structure in pci_alloc_dev()] Signed-off-by: Gu Zheng Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas --- Reading git-format-patch failed
