Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] PCI: Introduce pcibios_ignore_alignment_request

Introduce a new pcibios function pcibios_ignore_alignment_request
which allows the PCI core to defer to platform-specific code to
determine whether or not to ignore alignment requests for PCI resources.

The existing behavior is to simply ignore alignment requests when
PCI_PROBE_ONLY is set. This is behavior is maintained by the
default implementation of pcibios_ignore_alignment_request.

I think the logic here is questionable to begin with. If the user has
explicitly requested re-aligning a resource via the command line then
we should probably do it even if PCI_PROBE_ONLY is set. When it breaks
they get to keep the pieces.

That said, the real issue here is that PCI_PROBE_ONLY probably
shouldn't be set under qemu/kvm. Under the other hypervisor (PowerVM)
hotplugged devices are configured by firmware before it's passed to
the guest and we need to keep the FW assignments otherwise things
break. QEMU however doesn't do any BAR assignments and relies on that
being handled by the guest. At boot time this is done by SLOF, but
Linux only keeps SLOF around until it's extracted the device-tree.
Once that's done SLOF gets blown away and the kernel needs to do it's
own BAR assignments. I'm guessing there's a hack in there to make it
work today, but it's a little surprising that it works at all...

IIRC Sam Bobroff was looking at hotplug under pseries recently so he
might have something to add. He's sick at the moment, but I'll ask him
to take a look at this once he's back among the living

The hack is to run a modified qemu-aware "/usr/sbin/rtas_errd" in the
guest which receives an event from qemu (RAS_EPOW from
/proc/interrupts), fetches device tree chunks (and as I understand it -
they come with BARs from phyp but without from qemu) and writes "1" to
"/sys/bus/pci/rescan" which calls pci_assign_resource() eventually:

I agree. I don't like PCI_PROBE_ONLY in the first place. It's a
sledgehammer approach that doesn't tell us which resource assignments
need to be preserved or why. I'd rather use IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED and
set it for the BARs where there's actually some sort of
hypervisor/firmware/OS dependency.

If there's a way to avoid another pciobios_*() weak function, that
would also be better.

I'd expect dlpar_add_slot() to be called under phyp and eventually
pci_device_add() which (I think) may or may not trigger later reassignment.

We should probably stop enforcing the PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag - it seems
that (unless resource_alignment= is used) the pseries guest should just
walk through all allocated resources and leave them unchanged.

There seems to be some code already in the kernel that will disable
PCI_PROBE_ONLY based on a device tree property, so I did a quick test
today and it seems to work. Only a trivial tweak is needed in QEMU to
do it (have spapr_dt_chosen() add a node called "linux,pci-probe-only"
with a value of 0), and that would allow us to set it only for QEMU (and
not PowerVM) if that's what we want to do. Is that useful?

(I haven't done any real testing yet but the guest booted up OK.)

I removed pci_add_flags(PCI_PROBE_ONLY) from pSeries_setup_arch and
tried booting with and without pci=resource_alignment= and I can see no
difference - BARs are still aligned to 64K as programmed in SLOF; if I
hack SLOF to align to 4K or 32K - BARs get packed and the guest leaves
them unchanged.

It isn't if it's SLOF but it is if it's phyp. It used to not
allow/support BAR reassignment and even if it does not, I'd rather avoid
touching them.

With your changes the guest feels the urge to reassign bars (no idea why
but ok), when it does so, it puts both BARs (one is prefetchable) into
the 32bit non-prefetchable window of the PHB (SLOF puts the prefetchable
bar to a 64bit prefetchable window, I have no idea why the guest does it
different either but this must still work) and then qemu does not
emulate something properly - unassigned_mem_accepts() is triggered on
the bar access - no idea why - I am debugging it right now.

Sooo the problem is that resouce::flags has 2 bits to describe 64bit
BARs - PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 and IORESOURCE_MEM_64 - and we don't
set IORESOURCE_MEM_64 for 64bit BARs when parsing the fdt.

So the BAR reallocator moves the BAR to 32bit window (which is not
desirable but permitted, I still have to chase it) and then
pci_std_update_resource() writes BAR back but since now it is 32bit BAR,
it does not write to the upper 32bits so that half remains 0x2100, QEMU
does not move BAR to the right window and the MMIO stops working.

Try this in the guest kernel, it seems to keep bars where they were
after slof.
