      PCI : ability to relocate assigned pci-resources · 2bbc6942
      Ram Pai 提交于
      Currently pci-bridges are allocated enough resources to satisfy their immediate
      requirements.  Any additional resource-requests fail if additional free space,
      contiguous to the one already allocated, is not available. This behavior is not
      reasonable since sufficient contiguous resources, that can satisfy the request,
      are available at a different location.
      
      This patch provides the ability to expand and relocate a allocated resource.
      
      	v2: Changelog: Fixed size calculation in pci_reassign_resource()
      	v3: Changelog : Split this patch. The resource.c changes are already
      			upstream. All the pci driver changes are in here.

      PCI: honor child buses add_size in hot plug configuration · be768912
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      git commit c8adf9a3
          "PCI: pre-allocate additional resources to devices only after
      	successful allocation of essential resources."
      
      fails to take into consideration the optional-resources needed by children
      devices while calculating the optional-resource needed by the bridge.
      
      This can be a problem on some setup. For example, if a hotplug bridge has 8
      children hotplug bridges, the bridge should have enough resources to accomodate
      the hotplug requirements for each of its children hotplug bridges.  Currently
      this is not the case.
      
      This patch fixes the problem.

      PCI: Set PCI-E Max Payload Size on fabric · b03e7495
      Jon Mason 提交于
      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.
