SubjectPCI ERROR: Segmentation fault in pci_do_scan_bus
Date
From
Hi 

I am getting segmentation fault, consistently on call to
'pci_do_scan_bus'. This is a small test code ( attached with this mail)
to test the APIs exposed by the PCI subsystem. I just checked where it
faults and found out that inside 'sysfs_create_bin_file' it is not able
to find the kobject out of the dev pointer passed to it. Now extracting
of the dev object out of the bus pointer is done by
'list_for_each_entry(dev, &bus->devices, bus_list)' in
'pci_bus_add_devices'. Now I am not able to understand why the kobject
is missing. Is it something that I am missing or is it a kernel defect?
Any help in this will be really appreciated. The bug message is pasted
below.

The kernel version is linux 2.6.14.
