PCI: prevent duplicate slot names
Prevent callers of pci_create_slot() from registering slots with
duplicate names. This condition occurs most often when PCI hotplug
drivers are loaded on platforms with broken firmware that assigns
identical names to multiple slots.
We now rename these duplicate slots on behalf of the user.
If firmware assigns the name N to multiple slots, then:
The first registered slot is assigned N
The second registered slot is assigned N-1
The third registered slot is assigned N-2
etc.
This is the permanent fix mentioned in earlier commits d6a9e9b4 and
167e782e (shpchp/pciehp: Rename duplicate slot name...).
We take advantage of the new 'hotplug' parameter in pci_create_slot()
to prevent a slot create/rename race between hotplug drivers and
detection drivers.
Scenario A:
hotplug driver detection driver
-------------- ----------------
pci_create_slot(hotplug=set)
pci_create_slot(hotplug=NULL)
The hotplug driver creates the slot with its desired name, and then
releases the semaphore. Now, the detection driver tries to create
the same slot, but it already exists. We don't care about renaming,
so return the existing slot.
Scenario B:
hotplug driver detection driver
-------------- ----------------
pci_create_slot(hotplug=NULL)
pci_create_slot(hotplug=set)
The detection driver creates the slot with name "X". Then the hotplug
driver tries to create the same slot, but wants the name "Y" instead.
We detect that we're trying to create the same slot and that we also
want a rename, so rename the slot to "Y" and return.
Scenario C:
hotplug driver hotplug driver
-------------- ----------------
pci_create_slot(hotplug=set)
pci_create_slot(hotplug=set)
Two separate hotplug drivers are attempting to claim the slot and
are passing valid hotplug_slot args to pci_create_slot(). We detect
that the slot already has a ->hotplug callback, prevent a rename,
and return -EBUSY.
