Modifying the Maximum Read Request Size to 0 (value of 128Bytes) has massive negative ramifications on some devices. Without knowing which devices have this issue, do not modify from the default value when walking the PCI-E bus in pcie_bus_safe mode. Also, make pcie_bus_safe the default procedure.

Commit b03e7495 ("PCI: Set PCI-E Max Payload Size on fabric") introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference in calls to pcie_bus_configure_settings due to attempts to access pci_bus self variables when the self pointer is NULL. To correct this, verify that the self pointer in pci_bus is non-NULL before dereferencing it.

On a given PCI-E fabric, each device, bridge, and root port can have a different PCI-E maximum payload size. There is a sizable performance boost for having the largest possible maximum payload size on each PCI-E device. However, if improperly configured, fatal bus errors can occur. Thus, it is important to ensure that PCI-E payloads sends by a device are never larger than the MPS setting of all devices on the way to the destination. This can be achieved two ways: - A conservative approach is to use the smallest common denominator of the entire tree below a root complex for every device on that fabric. This means for example that having a 128 bytes MPS USB controller on one leg of a switch will dramatically reduce performances of a video card or 10GE adapter on another leg of that same switch. It also means that any hierarchy supporting hotplug slots (including expresscard or thunderbolt I suppose, dbl check that) will have to be entirely clamped to 128 bytes since we cannot predict what will be plugged into those slots, and we cannot change the MPS on a "live" system. - A more optimal way is possible, if it falls within a couple of constraints: * The top-level host bridge will never generate packets larger than the smallest TLP (or if it can be controlled independently from its MPS at least) * The device will never generate packets larger than MPS (which can be configured via MRRS) * No support of direct PCI-E <-> PCI-E transfers between devices without some additional code to specifically deal with that case Then we can use an approach that basically ignores downstream requests and focuses exclusively on upstream requests. In that case, all we need to care about is that a device MPS is no larger than its parent MPS, which allows us to keep all switches/bridges to the max MPS supported by their parent and eventually the PHB. In this case, your USB controller would no longer "starve" your 10GE Ethernet and your hotplug slots won't affect your global MPS. Additionally, the hotplugged devices themselves can be configured to a larger MPS up to the value configured in the hotplug bridge. To choose between the two available options, two PCI kernel boot args have been added to the PCI calls. "pcie_bus_safe" will provide the former behavior, while "pcie_bus_perf" will perform the latter behavior. By default, the latter behavior is used. NOTE: due to the location of the enablement, each arch will need to add calls to this function. This patch only enables x86. This patch includes a number of changes recommended by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

decode_bar() and pci_calc_resource_flags() both looked at the PCI BAR type information, and it's simpler to just do it all in one place. decode_bar() sets IORESOURCE_IO, IORESOURCE_MEM, and IORESOURCE_MEM_64 as appropriate, so res->flags contains all the information pci_bar_type does, so we don't need to test the pci_bar_type return value. decode_bar() used to return pci_bar_type, which we no longer need. We can simplify it a bit by returning the struct resource flags rather than updating them internally. In pci_update_resource(), there's no need to decode the BAR type bits again; we can just test for IORESOURCE_MEM_64 directly.

This fixes a minor regression where broken PCI devices that use the reserved "11" memory BAR type worked before e354597c but not after. The low four bits of a memory BAR are "PTT0" where P=1 for prefetchable BARs, and TT is as follows: 00 32-bit BAR, anywhere in lower 4GB 01 anywhere below 1MB (reserved as of PCI 2.2) 10 64-bit BAR 11 reserved Prior to e354597c, we treated "0100" as a 64-bit BAR and all others, including prefetchable 64-bit BARs ("1100") as 32-bit BARs. The e354597c fix, which appeared in 2.6.28, treats "x1x0" as 64-bit BARs, so the reserved "x110" types are treated as 64-bit instead of 32-bit. This patch returns to treating the reserved "11" type as a 32-bit BAR and adds a warning if we see it. It also logs a note if we see a 1M BAR. This is not a warning, because such hardware conforms to pre-PCI 2.2 spec, but I think it's worth noting because Linux ignores the 1M restriction if it ever has to assign the BAR.

When hot-plugging a root bridge, we always prevent assigning a bus number that already exists. This makes sure we don't step over an existing bus. But sometimes we only remove PCI device in PCI hieratchy of OS, i,e. echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove but actually don't hotplug this device out the platform, so in this case we still should re-scan this bus to enumerate this device when re-scanning PCI again.

powerpc has two different ways of matching PCI devices to their corresponding OF node (if any) for historical reasons. The ppc64 one does a scan looking for matching bus/dev/fn, while the ppc32 one does a scan looking only for matching dev/fn on each level in order to be agnostic to busses being renumbered (which Linux does on some platforms). This removes both and instead moves the matching code to the PCI core itself. It's the most logical place to do it: when a pci_dev is created, we know the parent and thus can do a single level scan for the matching device_node (if any). The benefit is that all archs now get the matching for free. There's one hook the arch might want to provide to match a PHB bus to its device node. A default weak implementation is provided that looks for the parent device device node, but it's not entirely reliable on powerpc for various reasons so powerpc provides its own.

IO_SPACE_LIMIT is currently used in two ways: 1) As a way to mask I/O port values read out of PCI base address registers. This value should be 64-bit. 2) As a value which is the upper limit for all I/O "ports" in the system. On sparc64 we store the full 64-bit physical I/O address in the resources. For this reason we define IO_SPACE_LIMIT at a 64-bit "all 1's". This is the right value to use for ioport_resource.end and for the check made in drivers/pcmcia/rsrc_nonstatic.c:adjust_io(). But in driver/pci/probe.c:__pci_read_base() we mask this against a "u32" variable and thus get the following warning: drivers/pci/probe.c: In function ¡__pci_read_base¢: drivers/pci/probe.c:207: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type Fix this by using an explicit "u32" cast. I considered changing sparc64 to define a 32-bit "all 1's" like most other systems do, but this wouldn't work because the checks in PCMCIA's rsrc_nonstatic.c would no longer be right since they are testing against fully formed 64-bit resources. As described above, on sparc64 such resources will hold full 64-bit physical I/O addresses, not bus-centric 32-bit ones. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

pci_add_new_bus() calls pci_alloc_child_bus() which calls pci_alloc_bus() that allocates memory dynamically with kzalloc(). The return value of kzalloc() is the pointer that's eventually returned from pci_add_new_bus(), so since kzalloc() can fail and return NULL so can pci_add_new_bus(). Thus we may end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in drivers/pci/probe.c::pci_scan_bridge(). Seems to me we should test for this and bail out if it happens rather than crashing. Also removed some trailing whitespace that bugged me while looking at this. Signed-off-by: NJesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: NJesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

Previously we used a table of size PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES (16) for resources forwarded to a bus by its upstream bridge. We've increased this size several times when the table overflowed. But there's no good limit on the number of resources because host bridges and subtractive decode bridges can forward any number of ranges to their secondary buses. This patch reduces the table to only PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM (4) entries, which corresponds to the number of windows a PCI-to-PCI (3) or CardBus (4) bridge can positively decode. Any additional resources, e.g., PCI host bridge windows or subtractively-decoded regions, are kept in a list. I'd prefer a single list rather than this split table/list approach, but that requires simultaneous changes to every architecture. This approach only requires immediate changes where we set up (a) host bridges with more than four windows and (b) subtractive-decode P2P bridges, and we can incrementally change other architectures to use the list.

The Alternate Routing-ID Interpretation capability allows a single device to have up to 256 functions. They can be populated sparsely, so the current technique of scanning every eighth function is not guaranteed to find them all. By introducing a 'next_fn' function pointer, we can use the linked list of functions in the ARI capability to scan all the functions which exist. We can then speed up the pci_scan_slot by skipping the scan of subsequent devfns for PCIe devices which are the direct children of Root Ports or Downstream Ports. These devices are only permitted to implement device 0, unless they are ARI devices, in which case they'll be scanned by the ARI code above.

Feedback from Hidetoshi Seto and Kenji Kaneshige incorporated. This correctly handles PCI-X bridges, PCIe root ports and endpoints, and prints debug messages when invalid/reserved types are found in the HEST. PCI devices not in domain/segment 0 are not represented in HEST, thus will be ignored. Today, the PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) driver attaches itself to every PCIe root port for which BIOS reports it should, via ACPI _OSC. However, _OSC alone is insufficient for newer BIOSes. Part of ACPI 4.0 is the new APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) which is a way for OS and BIOS to handshake over which errors for which components each will handle. One table in ACPI 4.0 is the Hardware Error Source Table (HEST), where BIOS can define that errors for certain PCIe devices (or all devices), should be handled by BIOS ("Firmware First mode"), rather than be handled by the OS. Dell PowerEdge 11G server BIOS defines Firmware First mode in HEST, so that it may manage such errors, log them to the System Event Log, and possibly take other actions. The aer driver should honor this, and not attach itself to devices noted as such. Furthermore, Kenji Kaneshige reminded us to disallow changing the AER registers when respecting Firmware First mode. Platform firmware is expected to manage these, and if changes to them are allowed, it could break that firmware's behavior. The HEST parsing code may be replaced in the future by a more feature-rich implementation. This patch provides the minimum needed to prevent breakage until that implementation is available.
