pci_get_hotplug_slot() has the following limitations: - if slots are not hotpluggable, they are not in /sys/bus/pci/slots. - the address at /sys/bus/pci/slots/X/addr doesn't contains the function part, so on some system, 2 different slots with different _SUN end up with the same hotplug_slot, leading to naming conflicts. - it tries all parent devices until it finds a slot number, which is incorrect, and what led to NAMING_BRIDGE_MULTIFUNCTION_SLOT being disabled. The use of PCI hotplug to find the slot (ACPI _SUN) was introduced in0035597a30"udev: net_id - export PCI hotplug slot names" on 2012/11/26. At the same time on the kernel side we gotbb74ac23b1"ACPI: create _SUN sysfs file" on 2012/11/16. Using PCI hotplug was the only way at the time, but now 12 years later we can use firmware_node/sun sysfs file. Looking at a small selection of server HW, for HPE (Gen10 DL325), the _SUN is attached to the NIC device, whereas for Dell (R640/R6515/R6615) and Cisco (UCSC-C220-M5SX), the _SUN is on the first parent pcieport. We still fallback to pci_get_hotplug_slot() to handle the s390 case and maybe some other coner cases (_SUN on grand parent device that is not a bridge ?).
