While using the sysfs new_id interface, the user can unintentionally feed incorrect values if the driver static table has a matching entry. This is possible since only the device and vendor fields are mandatory and the rest are optional. As a result, store_new_id() will fill in default values that are then passed on to the driver and can have unintended consequences. As an example, consider the ixgbe driver and the 82599EB network card: echo "8086 10fb" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/new_id This will pass a pci_device_id with driver_data = 0 to ixgbe_probe(), which uses that zero to index a table of card operations. The zeroth entry of the table does *not* correspond to the 82599 operations. This change returns an error if the user attempts to add a dynid for a vendor/device combination for which a static entry already exists. However, if the user intentionally wants a different set of values, she must provide all the 7 fields and that will be accepted.
