Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 02/11] PCI/P2PDMA: Avoid pci_get_slot() which sleeps

In order to use upstream_bridge_distance_warn() from a dma_map function,
it must not sleep. However, pci_get_slot() takes the pci_bus_sem so it
might sleep.

In order to avoid this, try to get the host bridge's device from
bus->self, and if that is not set just get the first element in the
list. It should be impossible for the host bridges device to go away
while references are held on child devices, so the first element
should not change and this should be safe.

Replacing one ugliness (assuming there is a pci_dev for the host
bridge, and that it is at 00.0) with another (still assuming a pci_dev
and that it is host->bus->self or the first entry). I can't suggest
anything better, but maybe a little comment in the code would help
future readers.

I wish we had a real way to discover this property without the
whitelist, at least for future devices. Was there ever any interest
in a _DSM or similar interface for this?

I *am* very glad to remove a pci_get_slot() usage.

Don't you need to also remove the "pci_dev_put(root)" a few lines
below?

Yeah, I struggled to find a solution here; this was the best I could
come up with. I'd love it if someone had a better idea. I can add a
comment for future iterations.

I'd also like to get rid of the whitelist, but I have no idea how or who
would have to lead a fight to get the hardware to self describe in way
that we could use.

Yes, right. Good catch!
