If a logical hot unplug (remove) is performed on a physical PCI slot's parent bridge, and then pci_slot is unloaded, we will encounter an oops: [<ffffffff803a788a>] kobject_release+0x9a/0x290 [<ffffffff803a77f0>] ? kobject_release+0x0/0x290 [<ffffffff803a8ce7>] kref_put+0x37/0x80 [<ffffffff803a76f7>] kobject_put+0x27/0x60 [<ffffffff803bebcc>] ? pci_destroy_slot+0x3c/0xc0 [<ffffffff803bebd5>] pci_destroy_slot+0x45/0xc0 [<ffffffffa000f05c>] acpi_pci_slot_remove+0x5c/0x91 [pci_slot] [<ffffffff8040064b>] acpi_pci_unregister_driver+0x4b/0x62 [<ffffffffa000f5c8>] acpi_pci_slot_exit+0x10/0x12 [pci_slot] [<ffffffff80276ce1>] sys_delete_module+0x161/0x250 We need to grab a reference to the parent PCI bus, which will pin the bus and prevent it from being released until pci_slot is unloaded.
