SubjectRe: [PATCH] PCI: hv: Fix panic by calling hv_pci_remove_slots() earlier
Hi Dexuan,

The subject line only describes the mechanical code change, which is
obvious from the patch. It would be better if we could say something
about *why* we need this.

"general protection fault" is an x86 term that doesn't really say what
the issue is. I suspect this would be a "use-after-free" problem.

I'm curious about why we need hv_pci_remove_slots() at all. None of
the other callers of pci_stop_root_bus() and pci_remove_root_bus() do
anything similar to hv_pci_remove_slots().

Surely some of those callers also support slots, so there must be some
other path that calls pci_destroy_slot() in those cases. Can we use a
similar strategy here?
