While working on v2 of my series[1] intended to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1272300 I'm running into some smaller stuff that isn't necessarily strictly related to the issue at hand. The idea is to have this smaller patches merged before the bigger, more invasive changes that series will bring, and hopefully make it easier to review by laying down the groundwork in advance. The series is organized as follows: 1-2: remove function parameters that are either not inspected by the function or never have an interesting value 3: change a string field that can only assume one of three values to a proper enumeration 4: improve bookkeeping when detaching PCI devices from the host, by making sure they always transition through the 'inactive' state (when they're attached to the stub driver) 5: make sure we never try to reattach an unmanaged device to the host, not even when recovering from a previous error 6: add some useful debug messages I expect patches 1, 2 and 6 to be fairly uncontroversial and easy to review; patch 3 is kinda big, but it's IMHO a nice improvement over the current situation; patches 4 and 5 are small but definitely need a long hard stare from a different pair of eyes to ensure they're not breaking anything. Cheers.
