Thanks Great, thanks for testing! I'm adding this to the series (after commit 7342798): --- From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cleanup_bridge() After commit bbd34fc (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Register all devices under the given bridge) register_slot() is called for all PCI devices under a given bridge that have corresponding objects in the ACPI namespace, but it calls acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot() only for devices satisfying specific criteria. Still, cleanup_bridge() calls acpiphp_unregister_hotplug_slot() for all objects created by register_slot(), although it should only call it for the ones that acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot() has been called for (successfully). This causes a NULL pointer to be dereferenced by the acpiphp_unregister_hotplug_slot() executed by cleanup_bridge() if the object it is called for has not been passed to acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot(). To fix this problem, check if the 'slot' field of the object passed to acpiphp_unregister_hotplug_slot() in cleanup_bridge() is not NULL, which only is the case if acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot() has been executed for that object. In addition to that, make register_slot() reset the 'slot' field to NULL if acpiphp_register_hotplug_slot() has failed for the given object to prevent stale pointers from being used by acpiphp_unregister_hotplug_slot().
