    [PATCH] PCI: prevent down_read when pci_devices is empty · 6ae4adf5
    Ard van Breemen 提交于
    The pci_find_subsys gets called very early by obsolete ide setup parameters.
    This is a bogus call since pci is not initialized yet, so the list is empty.
    But in the mean time, interrupts get enabled by down_read.  This can result in
    a kernel panic when the irq controller gets initialized.
    
    This patch checks if the device list is empty before taking the semaphore, and
    hence will not enable irq's.  Furthermore it will inform that it is called
    while pci_devices is empty as a reminder that the ide code needs to be fixed.
    
    The pci_get_subsys can get called in the same manner, and as such is patched
    in the same manner.
