But your patch is an improvement, so we can look at doing that later. > looks like we don't need to split device_register to device_del and put_device. > > we can make root bus removal to use device_unregister too, in the patches, If we can use device_register()/device_unregister() directly instead of splitting them into initialize/add/del/put, that would be awesome. Anyway, http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/log/?h=pci/jiang-bus-lock-v3 is the current state of what I've got. If you want to iterate on this some more and improve things, that's great. But please start with what's on my branch and post your updates as a complete v4 because I did tweak some changelogs and code formatting, and I don't want to lose that work.
