[PATCH -v3 25/47] Fix an access-after-free issue in function pci_stop_and_remove_bus()

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Mon Mar 19 2012 - 02:00:34 EST


From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

If pci_stop_and_remove_bus() is called to remove a pci root bus,
the host_bridge structure may have already been freed after returning
from pci_remove_bus(). To avoid that, hold an extra reference count
to the root bus before calling pci_remove_bus(), so we can safely
access the pci_host_bridge structure after returning from function
pci_remove_bus().
