It oopses during modprobe becasue the first load of acpiphp didn't clean up
properly.

Zhenmin's checker tool <zli4@cs.uiuc.edu> detected this:

 9. /drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_ctrl.c, Line 1575:
 err("%s: Failed to disable slot, error code(%d)\n", __FUNCTION__, rc);

 Maybe change to:
 err("%s: Failed to disable slot, error code(%d)\n", __FUNCTION__,
 retval);

 I think it is right because at line 1564, the slot is turned off, and
in this line (1575) is checked the status to see if we got an error; if
so, the error number is shown. This number is in 'retval', not in 'rc'
('rc' does have the return of configure_new_device()).

 The patch bellow fixes that:

Yes, good point. Greg, this patch makes does it. Please apply on top of the
other stuff.

This 2 get_* functions do the same the hotplug core does if this functions
would not be there. Kill Bil^H^H^Hem!

Eike

slot_paranoia_check is only another kind of checking everything for NULL.
Removing this leads to function get_slot is reduced to a simple cast, so this
function can be killed also.

Eike

If the "struct hotplug_slot *" parameter is ever NULL then something bogus is
going on, we should not hide this bug by catching it. Also the name used in
debug messages is fixed.

Eike

Convert cpci_hotplug_core.c::cpci_hp_register_bus to use goto for error
handling.

Eike

This two checks are useless: cpci_hp_register_bus is only called from two
places, one has constant arguments, the other one passes the module
parameters which are checked for this condition on module load. And the bus
argument of cpci_hp_unregister_bus can never be NULL, all functions calling
this function use fields of the bus struct before so they will oops if it
would ever be NULL.

Eike

This one removes useless code and fixes the issue that the return code of
set_attention_status for cpcihp is always 0 even if cpci_set_attention_status
returns an error.

Attached is a revised version of rpaphp.patch.  It has the following fixes:
- Set up slot->name
- Kill some dbgs
- Eike's fixes
- New fixes for incorrect "goto" in rpaphp_slot.c.

This fixes allyesconfig

Remove a useless cast: pci_add_new_bus returns a struct pci_bus*, so no need
to cast.

A big bunch of coding style fixes for shpchp_ctrl.c and shpchp_pci.c

Eike

Some small coding style fixes for shpchp_core.c.

Convert shpchp_core.c::init_slots to use goto for error handling.

shpchp is the only driver which does not use a release function for the slot
struct. This adds one and does some minor coding style fixes. Also no one
cares about the return value of cleanup_slots (which is always 0 anyway) so
we can make the function void.

shpchp_core.c::hardware_test is empty. If we remove it we tell the user that
hardware tests are not supported at all.

Convert shpchp_core.c to use new style of module handling.

Eike

Some coding style fixes for rpaphp_pci.c.

Convert rpaphp_slot.c::alloc_slot_struct to use goto for error handling. Also
some small coding style fixes.

Remove two useless NULL checks from rpaphp_core.c

rpaphp_core.c::init_slots is not more than a for loop and is called only from
one place, this inlines the important 3 lines. Als add some __init and __exit.

Some coding style fixes for rpaphp_core.c:
-s/return(foo)/return foo/
-some whitespace fixes
-document function in proper way

Eike

The get_cur_bus_speed function of rpaphp does nothing that the PCI Hotplug Core
would not do by itself if this function does not exist, so just kill it.

The debug parameter of rpaphp is only used as a boolean so we can scan the
commandline of it like a boolean parameter.

This is a bunch of coding style fixes (wrap long lines, whitspacing etc.) for
pciehp_pci.c

This patch does two things:
-remove casts of pointers which are void* or already the correct type for the
 target
-if we dereferenced a struct member and copied this to it's own variable use
 this and don't dereference the member again

Don't know why, but it looks like a good idea to mark this global variables
static.

Some coding style fixes and small cleanups for pciehp_core.c:
-wrap long lines
-kill spaces before opening braces of functions
-remove code duplication where both parts of an if statement do exactly the
 same
-kill some useless comments
-kill an unneeded initialisation

The result of kmalloc does not need to be casted to any other pointer type.
Also use kmalloc(*foo) instead of kmalloc(type_of_foo) and wrap some long
lines.

Some small coding style fixes and a typo fix for pciehp.h

This changes pciehp_core.c::init_slots to use goto for error hanling. Also a
missing magic missed by previous patches is killed.

Remove useless NULL checks from cpqphp_ctrl.c. Under normal circumstances
there is no chance for any of this functions to get called with a NULL
argument. If we are in such trouble that we get a NULL pointer don't hide it,
just oops.

The hardware_test function of the PCI Express Hotplug driver is empty. It's
better to completely kill this to tell the user hardware tests are not
supported by this driver.

This patch removes the cast of kmalloc's results to the target pointer type.
Also it fixes kmalloc to use sizeof(*foo) instead of sizeof(type_of_foo) as
suggested by Matthew Wilcox. Also removes a few useless checks if a pointer
is NULL before calling kfree: kfree checks this itself.
