      pci: New PCI-E reset API · f7bdd12d
      Brian King 提交于
      Adds a new API which can be used to issue various types
      of PCI-E reset, including PCI-E warm reset and PCI-E hot reset.
      This is needed for an ipr PCI-E adapter which does not properly
      implement BIST. Running BIST on this adapter results in PCI-E
      errors. The only reliable reset mechanism that exists on this
      hardware is PCI Fundamental reset (warm reset). Since driving
      this type of reset is architecture unique, this provides the
      necessary hooks for architectures to add this support.

      [PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling · f5f2b131
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
      hardware does not have an msi capability enabled.  Currently the code has been
      calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that.  However disable_msi_mode
      has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
      compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
      
      Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
      capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
      
      pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
      clearing the msi enable bit.  A device that is not allowed to perform bus
      mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
      are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering.  So the call
      in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
      
      quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

      devres: device resource management · 9ac7849e
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
      driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
      with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
      invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.
      
      devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
      better represented by single instance of the type while others need
      multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
      supported.
      
      devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
      can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
      or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
      ports).
      
      This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
      managed interfaces.
      
      * alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
      * IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
      * IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()

      PCI: Fix multiple problems with VIA hardware · 1597cacb
      Alan Cox 提交于
      This patch is designed to fix:
      - Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
      - VIA IRQ handling
      - VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM
      
      The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
      We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
      we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.
      
      The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
      are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
      patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
      (hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
      devices only.
      
      From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
      
      Now that PCI quirks are replayed on software resume, we can safely
      re-enable the Asus SMBus unhiding quirk even when software suspend support
      is enabled.

      PCI: Add pci_find_ht_capability() for finding Hypertransport capabilities · 687d5fe3
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      There are already several places in the kernel that want to search a PCI
      device for a given Hypertransport capability. Although this is possible
      using pci_find_capability() etc., it makes sense to encapsulate that
      logic in a helper - pci_find_ht_capability().
      
      To cater for searching exhaustively for a capability, we also provide
      pci_find_next_ht_capability().
      
      We also need to cater for the fact that the HT capability fields may be
      either 3 or 5 bits wide. pci_find_ht_capability() deals with this for you,
      but callers using the #defines directly must handle that themselves.

      PCI: switch pci_{enable,disable}_device() to be nestable · bae94d02
      Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
      Changes the pci_{enable,disable}_device() functions to work in a
      nested basis, so that eg, three calls to enable_device() require three
      calls to disable_device().
      
      The reason for this is to simplify PCI drivers for
      multi-interface/capability devices. These are devices that cram more
      than one interface in a single function. A relevant example of that is
      the Wireless [USB] Host Controller Interface (similar to EHCI) [see
      http://www.intel.com/technology/comms/wusb/whci.htm]. 
      
      In these kind of devices, multiple interfaces are accessed through a
      single bar and IRQ line. For that, the drivers map only the smallest
      area of the bar to access their register banks and use shared IRQ
      handlers. 
      
      However, because the order at which those drivers load cannot be known
      ahead of time, the sequence in which the calls to pci_enable_device()
      and pci_disable_device() cannot be predicted. Thus:
      
      1. driverA     starts     pci_enable_device()
      2. driverB     starts     pci_enable_device()
      3. driverA     shutdown   pci_disable_device()
      4. driverB     shutdown   pci_disable_device()
      
      between steps 3 and 4, driver B would loose access to it's device,
      even if it didn't intend to.
      
      By using this modification, the device won't be disabled until all the
      callers to enable() have called disable().
      
      This is implemented by replacing 'struct pci_dev->is_enabled' from a
      bitfield to an atomic use count. Each caller to enable increments it,
      each caller to disable decrements it. When the count increments from 0
      to 1, __pci_enable_device() is called to actually enable the
      device. When it drops to zero, pci_disable_device() actually does the
      disabling.
      
      We keep the backend __pci_enable_device() for pci_default_resume() to
      use and also change the sysfs method implementation, so that userspace
      enabling/disabling the device doesn't disable it one time too much.

      PCI: optionally sort device lists breadth-first · 6b4b78fe
      Matt Domsch 提交于
      Problem:
      New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
      labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
      in the printed documentation.  Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
      in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
      respectively.  Many people have come to expect this naming.  Linux 2.6
      kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
      expectations).  I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
      have similar behavior.
      
      
      Root cause:
      Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
      sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
      which most often is breadth-first also).  2.6 kernels have both the
      pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
      is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
      klist happens to be in depth-first order.
      
      On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
      lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
      the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1.  If the
      list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
      
      A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
      exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
      lists.
      
      -[0000:00]-+-00.0  Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
                 +-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
                 +-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
      
      
      Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
      PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
      this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
      device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
      
      
      Solution:
      
      The solution can come in multiple steps.
      
      Suggested fix #1: kernel
      Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
      ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels.  It adds two new
      command line options:
        pci=bfsort
        pci=nobfsort
      to force the sort order, or not, as you wish.  It also adds DMI checks
      for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
      make them "right".
      
      
      Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
      Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
      discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
      Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
      determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
      they're in.  I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
      ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
      subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first.  It'll be possible to use it
      independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
      udev in their installers.
      
      Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
      One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
      regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order.  This adds
      a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
      possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
      major manufacturers).  I don't want to encourage this particular train
      of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
      
      
      Feedback appreciated.  Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
      with 2.6.18.
      
      You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
      abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm.  I think
      that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

      It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture

      functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.
      
      For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
      architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
      platform code.
      
      With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
      actually takes less code.

      to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

      [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support · 8b955b0d
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
      use by drivers.  Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
      arch specific irq_chip handlers.
      
      The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
      However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
      places in the kernel.  Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19
      
      Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
      generalized to work there.
      
      I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
      chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
      interesting.
      
      However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
      specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
      how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: refactor the msi_ops · 38bc0361
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The current msi_ops are short sighted in a number of ways, this patch attempts
      to fix the glaring deficiences.
      
      - Report in msi_ops if a 64bit address is needed in the msi message, so we
        can fail 32bit only msi structures.
      
      - Send and receive a full struct msi_msg in both setup and target.  This is
        a little cleaner and allows for architectures that need to modify the data
        to retarget the msi interrupt to a different cpu.
      
      - In target pass in the full cpu mask instead of just the first cpu in case
        we can make use of the full cpu mask.
      
      - Operate in terms of irqs and not vectors, currently there is still a 1-1
        relationship but on architectures other than ia64 I expect this will change.

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: implement helper functions read_msi_msg and write_msi_msg · 0366f8f7
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      In support of this I also add a struct msi_msg that captures the the two
      address and one data field ina typical msi message, and I remember the pos and
      if the address is 64bit in struct msi_desc.
      
      This makes the code a little more readable and easier to maintain, and paves
      the way to further simplfications.

      [PATCH] PCI quirks update · 236561e5
      Alan Cox 提交于
      This fixes two things
      
      Firstly someone mistakenly used "errata" for the singular.  This causes
      Dave Woodhouse to emit diagnostics whenever the string is read, and so
      should be fixed.
      
      Secondly the AMD AGP tunnel has an erratum which causes hangs if you try
      and do direct PCI to AGP transfers in some cases.  We have a flag for
      PCI/PCI failures but we need a different flag for this really as in this
      case we don't want to stop PCI/PCI transfers using things like IOAT and the
      new RAID offload work.
      
      I'll post some updates to make proper use of the PCIAGP flag in the
      media/video drivers to Mauro.

      [PATCH] PCI: PCIE power management quirk · ffadcc2f
      Kristen Carlson Accardi 提交于
      When changing power states from D0->DX and then from DX->D0, some
      Intel PCIE chipsets will cause a device reset to occur.  This will
      cause problems for any D State other than D3, since any state
      information that the driver will expect to be present coming from
      a D1 or D2 state will have been cleared.  This patch addes a
      flag to the pci_dev structure to indicate that devices should
      not use states D1 or D2, and will set that flag for the affected
      chipsets.  This patch also modifies pci_set_power_state() so that
      when a device driver tries to set the power state on
      a device that is downstream from an affected chipset, or on one
      of the affected devices it only allows state changes to or
      from D0 & D3.  In addition, this patch allows the delay time
      between D3->D0 to be changed via a quirk.  These chipsets also
      need additional time to change states beyond the normal 10ms.

      [PATCH] PCI: disable msi mode in pci_disable_device · 99dc804d
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Brice said the pci_save_msi_state breaks his driver in his special usage
      (not in suspend/resume), as pci_save_msi_state will disable msi mode. In
      his usage, pci_save_state will be called at runtime, and later (after
      the device operates for some time and has an error) pci_restore_state
      will be called.
      In another hand, suspend/resume needs disable msi mode, as device should
      stop working completely. This patch try to workaround this issue.
      Drivers are expected call pci_disable_device in suspend time after
      pci_save_state.

      [PATCH] PCI Bus Parity Status-broken hardware attribute, EDAC foundation · bd8481e1
      Doug Thompson 提交于
      Currently, the EDAC (error detection and correction) modules that are in
      the kernel contain some features that need to be moved. After some good
      feedback on the PCI Parity detection code and interface
      (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0603.1/0897.html) this
      patch ADDs an new attribute to the pci_dev structure: Namely the
      'broken_parity_status' bit.
      
      When set this indicates that the respective hardware generates false
      positives of Parity errors.
      
      The EDAC "blacklist" solution was inferior and will be removed in a
      future patch.
      
      Also in this patch is a PCI quirk.c entry for an Infiniband PCI-X card
      which generates false positive parity errors.
      
      I am requesting comments on this AND on the possibility of a exposing
      this 'broken_parity_status' bit to userland via the PCI device sysfs
      directory for devices. This access would allow for enabling of this
      feature on new devices and for old devices that have their drivers
      updated. (SLES 9 SP3 did this on an ATI motherboard video device). There
      is a need to update such a PCI attribute between kernel releases.
      
      This patch just adds a storage place for the attribute and a quirk entry
      for a known bad PCI device. PCI Parity reaper/harvestor operations are
      in EDAC itself and will be refactored to use this PCI attribute instead
      of its own mechanisms (which are currently disabled) in the future.
