In function pci_scan_bridge_extend(), if the variable next_busnr gets to 256, "child = pci_find_bus()" will return bus 0 (root bus). Consequently, we have a circular PCI topology. The scan will then go in circle until the kernel crashes due to stack overflow.
This can be reproduced with: qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-q35-2.10 \ -kernel bzImage \ -m 2048 -smp 1 -enable-kvm \ -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda debug" \ -nographic \ -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=1,id=rp1,bus-reserve=253 \ -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=2,id=rp2,bus-reserve=0 \ -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=3,id=rp3,bus-reserve=0
Check if next_busnr "overflow" and bail out if this is the case.
