The slot info comes from the serial number "hpdev->desc.ser", which may not guarantee uniqueness: "...Hyper-V doesn't provide unique serial numbers": see the changelog of the below commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=29927dfb7f69bcf2ae7fd1cda10997e646a5189c And we can pass through multiple devices to a VM in any order (i.e. hot add/remove), so IMO the "slot" info is not unique and persistent.
