The PCI core currently uses a late_initcall to probe each device for whether it supports reset. This is dangerous because a driver may have already claimed the device by this point, and the PCI core should not interfere with the driver by touching the device on its own. These patches move the probe to be earlier, during enumeration, before a driver has a chance to claim the device. --- Bjorn Helgaas (2): PCI: Probe for device reset support before driver claim PCI: Remove redundant probes for device reset support drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c | 3 +-- drivers/pci/pci.c | 15 ++++++--------- drivers/pci/probe.c | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
