From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> According to device model documentation, the way to create/destroy PCI devices should be symmetric. /** * device_del - delete device from system. * @dev: device. * * This is the first part of the device unregistration * sequence. This removes the device from the lists we control * from here, has it removed from the other driver model * subsystems it was added to in device_add(), and removes it * from the kobject hierarchy. * * NOTE: this should be called manually _iff_ device_add() was * also called manually. */ The rule is to either use 1) device_register()/device_unregister() or 2) device_initialize()/device_add()/device_del()/put_device(). So change PCI core logic to follow the rule and get rid of the redundant pci_dev_get()/pci_dev_put() pair.
