This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled i7core_edac: Fix PCI device reference count to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 2ce0a4bc2f3f2bd5f3abacf478d7c9e7f2ab556a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 09:39:27 +0100 Subject: i7core_edac: Fix PCI device reference count commit c0f5eeed0f4cef4f05b74883a7160e7edde58b6a upstream. The reference count changes done by pci_get_device can be a little misleading when the usage diverges from the most common scheme. The reference count of the device passed as the last parameter is always decreased, even if the function returns no new device. So if we are going to try alternative device IDs, we must manually increment the device reference count before each retry. If we don't, we end up decreasing the reference count, and after a few modprobe/rmmod cycles the PCI devices will vanish. In other words and as Alan put it: without this fix the EDAC code corrupts the PCI device list.
