We call pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() when we remove a device. If the device
is the last PCIe function to be removed below a bridge and the bridge has
an ASPM link_state struct, we disable ASPM on the link. Disabling ASPM
requires link->downstream (used in pcie_config_aspm_link()).
We previously set link->downstream in pcie_aspm_cap_init(), but only if the
device was not blacklisted. Removing the blacklisted device caused a NULL
pointer dereference in the pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() ->
pcie_config_aspm_link() path:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:0b\:00.0/remove
...

To avoid this, set link->downstream in alloc_pcie_link_state(), so every
pcie_link_state structure has a valid link->downstream pointer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
