pciehp: fix interrupt initialization
Current pciehp driver's intialization sequence is as follows: (1) initialize controller data structure (2) install interrupt handler (3) enable software notification (4) initialize controller specific slot data structure (5) initialize generic slot data structure and register it to pci hotplug core The interrupt handler of pciehp assumes that controller specific slot data structure is already initialized. However, it is installed at (2) before initializing controller specific slot data structure at (4). Because of this, pciehp driver cannot handle the following cases properly. - If devices that shares IRQ with pciehp raise interrupts between (2) and (4). - If hotplug events (e.g. MRL open) happen between (3) and (4). We already have a workaround for this problem ("pciehp: fix NULL dereference in interrupt handler: dbd79aed1aea2bece0bf43cc2ff3b2f9baf48a08). But we still need fundamental fix. This patch fix the problem by changing the initilization sequence as follows: (1) initialize controller data structure (2) initialize controller specific slot data structure (3) install interrupt handler (4) enable software notification (5) initialize generic slot data structure and register it to pci hotplug core Signed-off-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
