Subject: Documentation/pci.txt inconsistency
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 13:34:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200411171334.56492@bilbo.math.uni-mannheim.de> (raw)

The examples in section 2 of Documentation/pci.txt use pci_get_*. Some lines
later there is this funny little paragraph:

> Note that these functions are not hotplug-safe.  Their hotplug-safe
> replacements are pci_get_device(), pci_get_class() and pci_get_subsys().
> They increment the reference count on the pci_dev that they return.
> You must eventually (possibly at module unload) decrement the reference
> count on these devices by calling pci_dev_put().

How about this:

These functions are hotplug-safe. They increment the reference count on the
pci_dev that they return. You must eventually (possibly at module unload)
decrement the reference count on these devices by calling pci_dev_put().
