Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Init driver override spinlock in new_id_store()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:31:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427193139.2109938-1-skhawaja@google.com> (raw)
When setting new_id of a PCI device driver using sysfs a lockdep splat
occurs. This is because the new_id function new_id_store() checks for
driver_override by creating temporary pci_dev structs.
Since the newly added driver_override spinlock is not init for temporary
pci_dev structs, the lockdep splat complains about it.
Init the driver_override spinlock to fix this.
