pci-1.diff
- Separate out bus resource allocator (pci_bus_alloc_resource)
- Provide pci_enable_bridges to setup command register for all
pci bridges
pci-2.diff
- Eliminate the stack allocation of a struct pci_dev, and make
pci_scan_slot() take a bus and a devfn argument.
- Add "dev->multifunction" to indicate whether this is a multifunction
device.
- Run header fixups before inserting the new pci device into any
device lists or announcing it to the drivers.
- Convert some more stuff to use the list_for_each* macro(s).
No real behavioural change yet.
pci-3.diff
This is the first patch which we start breaking things.
The pci_find* functions search using the following lists:
bus->children (for subordinate buses)
pci_root_buses (for all root buses)
pci_devices (for devices)
This leaves one list which we can add devices to without any drivers
finding the new devices before we've finished with them. (Jeff - some
drivers do go scanning the bus_list, notably de4x5.c:srom_search.)
- initialise bus->node list head.
- pci_scan_slot will scan the specified slot, and add the discovered
devices to the bus->devices list only. These devices will not
appear on the global device list, and do not show in sysfs, procfs.
pci_scan_slot returns the number of functions found. If you want
to find the devices, you have to scan bus->devices and look for
devices where list_empty(&dev->global_list) is true.
- new function "pci_bus_add_devices" adds newly discovered devices
to the global device lists, and handles the sysfs and procfs
stuff, making the devices available to drivers. All our buses
which have an empty list head are treated as "new" (since they
are not attached to the parent buses list of children) and are
also added. Currently, no buses will be in this state when this
function is called.
- new function "pci_scan_child_bus" scans a complete bus, building
a list of devices on bus->devices only, performing bus fixups
via pcibios_fixup_bus() and scanning behind bridges. It does
make devices externally visible.
- pci_do_scan_bus retains its original behaviour - ie, it scans
and makes devices available immediately.
pci-4.diff
- Convert setup-bus.c resource allocation to scan bus->devices rather
than bus->children. As noted previously, newly discovered child
buses will not be on the parents list of children buses, so when
we're trying to assign resources, we need to scan the bus for
devices with subordinate buses rather than using the list of children
buses.
pci-5.diff
Now we tackle pci_add_new_bus and pci_scan_bridge. The hotplug code
currently uses this, but I'd like it to die off; pci_scan_bridge()
should be used to scan behind bridges. This may mean hotplug needs
some changes to pci_scan_bridge - if so, we need to find out what
changes are required and fix it.
pci_alloc_child_bus() does what pci_add_new_bus() did, except it
doesn't attach the new bus to the parents list of child buses. The
only way this bus can be reached from the parent bus is by scanning
the parents devices list, and locating a device with a non-NULL
subordinate bus. The only code which should be doing this is the
PCI code.
Since the new bus will have an empty list head for bus->node, we can
detect unattached buses prety easily. (see pci-3.diff. maybe we want
a pci_bus_unattached() to make it more readable?)
pci_scan_bridge() changes slightly - we use our new pci_scan_child_bus()
function from pci-3.diff, which doesn't attach devices to the global
tree. This means callers of pci_scan_child_bus() and pci_scan_bridge()
(ie, hotplug) will need to call pci_bus_add_devices().
