I'm sorry, I don't think I see the problem you are pointing out.

If pci_get_pci_slot() finds a pci_slot, we do not modify
pci_bus->slots any further, so even if a new slot is created, it
shouldn't affect the pci_slot that we already found.

I must be missing something, but I don't know what. Would you
mind explaining what you had in mind with your comment?

Yes, I've modified my patch series to take into account the bugs
that Taku-san found.

Thank you both for your reviews.
