Subject: pcie aspm link setup, grandparent instead of parent?
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:21:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130612172132.GG27284@hpx.cz> (raw)

Hello,

as a consequence of hitting a NULL dereference bug[1] while downstream
aspm is setting up link_state, I started to wonder why is the code
skipping its parent bus in favour of grandparent's link_state.[2]

Is this right? (I have no device to test on ...)

Thanks.

   The bug is hit because "pdev->bus->parent" has NULL "->parent" and thus
   NULL "->self".
2: "pdev = bus->self", so "pdev->bus->parent == bus->parent->parent"
