Please mention the mutex specifically by name, e.g.,
"p_slot->hotplug_lock".

It sounds right that p_slot->state should be protected.
It looks like handle_button_press_event() and
pciehp_sysfs_enable_slot() hold p_slot->lock while updating
p_slot->state.
You're setting "state = POWEROFF_STATE" while holding
p_slot->hotplug_lock (not p_slot->lock). Four lines down, we set
"state = STATIC_STATE", but this time we're holding p_slot->lock.
What is the difference between the p_slot->lock and
p_slot->hotplug_lock? Do we need both? How do we know which one to
use?
I'm very confused.
