A git bisect pointed this regression to be introduced via [1] that added
a mechanism to create device tree nodes for parent PCI bridges when a
PCI device is hot-plugged.

The Oops is caused when `pci_stop_dev()` tries to remove a non-existing
device-tree node associated with the pci_dev that was earlier
hot-plugged and was attached under a pci-bridge. The PCI dev header
`dev->hdr_type` being 0, results a conditional check done with
`pci_is_bridge()` into false. Consequently, a call to
`of_pci_make_dev_node()` to create a device node is never made. When at
a later point in time, in the device node removal path, a memcpy is
attempted in `__of_changeset_entry_invert()`; since the device node was
never created, results in an Oops due to kernel read access to a bad
address.

To fix this issue, the patch updates `of_changeset_create_node()` to
allocate a new node only when the device node doesn't exist and init it
in case it does already. Also, introduce `of_pci_free_node()` to be
called to only revert and destroy the changeset device node that was
created via a call to `of_changeset_create_node()`.

Are we going to rename the function to
of_changeset_create_or_maybe_modify_node()? No. The functions here are
very clear in that they allocate new objects and don't reuse what's
passed in.

Ok. How about keeping of_changeset_create_node unchanged.

Instead, call kzalloc(), of_node_init() and of_changeset_attach_node()

in of_pci_make_dev_node() directly.

A similar example is dlpar_parse_cc_node().


Does this sound better?


Thanks,

Lizhi
