[PATCH v9 05/13] PCI: liveupdate: Auto-preserve upstream bridges across Live Update
From: David Matlack
Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 16:11:02 EST
When a PCI device is preserved across a Live Update, all of its upstream
bridges up to the root port must also be preserved. This enables the PCI
core and any drivers bound to the bridges to manage bridges correctly
across a Live Update.
Notably, this will be used in subsequent commits to ensure that
preserved devices can continue performing memory transactions without a
disruption or change in routing.
To preserve bridges, the PCI core tracks the number of downstream
devices preserved under each bridge using a reference count in struct
pci_dev_ser. This allows a bridge to remain preserved until all its
downstream preserved devices are unpreserved or finish their
participation in the Live Update.
