Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] PCI: Clean up pci_scan_slot()

While determining the next PCI function is factored out of
pci_scan_slot() into next_fn() the former still handles the first
function as a special case duplicating the code from the scan loop and
splitting the condition that the first function exits from it being
multifunction which is tested in next_fn().

Furthermore the non ARI branch of next_fn() mixes the case that
multifunction devices may have non-contiguous function ranges and dev
may thus be NULL with the multifunction requirement. It also signals
that no further functions need to be scanned by returning 0 which is
a valid function number.

Improve upon this by moving all conditions for having to scan for more
functions into next_fn() and make them obvious and commented.

By changing next_fn() to return -ENODEV instead of 0 when there is no
next function we can then handle the initial function inside the loop
and deduplicate the shared handling.

No functional change is intended.

We could keep this the same for this patch but I think for jailhouse
(patch 2) we need the "!dev" case not to fail here such that we can
handle the missing function 0 below even if ARI is enabled. For s390
this doesn't currently matter because pci_ari_enabled(bus) is always
false but I assumed that this isn't necessarily so for jailhouse. I
sent a follow up mail on a slight behavior change I can think of for
this case for v2 but forgot to send it also for v3. Quoted below:

"This part here theoretically changes the behavior slightly. If the ARI
information is wrong/lands us in a "hole" we may look for more
functions via the non-ARI path. Not sure if that is relevant though as
in the worst case we might find functions that we otherwise wouldn't
have seen. Seems rather obsure to me but I might be wrong, we currently
don't see the ARI capability in Linux on IBM Z so I have less
experience with this. I did of course boot test on my x86_64
workstation."

This isn't a change to the test. It's the negation of the logical
condition *and* a switch of the branches i.e. keeps the overall
behavior exactly the same. The equivalence is !(!A || B) == (A && !B).
There are two reasons I did this.

1. I find (!dev || dev->multifunction) to be much harder to grasp than
(dev && !dev->multifunction).

2. The whole next_fn() in my opinion becomes easier to read if it bails
for all bad cases early and the "this is the next fn" is the final
return if we didn't bail. This becomes even more true as another
condition is added in patch 2.

Yes with function 0 handled in the loop we can't use 0 as the
termination indication. Also I find it generally weird to use a wrap
around for this.

I think this is equivalent to the ternary at the return. Both return
-ENODEV for fn >= 7. I do like your idea better though as it keeps with
the scheme of my point 2 above and ternaries are ever so slightly
harder to read.

Yes pretty much only that by negating the success case and switching
the branches we end up with a list of fail/bail checks and a single
success return even with the hyperisor check added. Also not sure if
the "fn >= 7" check should rather go after the ARI path to keep them
separate doesn't really matter of course.

I agree this can probably be improved. I'm trying to say that dev can
be NULL if it is not function 0 which must exist. Maybe:

"dev may be NULL as multifunction devices may be non-contiguous but a
function 0 is required"

I agree about the "fn == 0", I only used "!fn" because I remember
getting checkpatch warnings for "foo == 0" in the past. I'll change to
fn == 0. As for the order see below.

Yes. This is "dev may be NULL unless we're looking at function 0". The
fn came before dev because I wrote it as "function 0 must not be NULL"
but it could also be "dev is NULL and we're looking at function 0",
I have no clear preference.

This is also the case that gets changed by patch 2 to become:

"function 0 must not be NULL unless we have isolated PCI functions"

or with the order switched:

"dev is NULL and we're looking at function 0 and don't have isolated
PCI functions"

Hmm, I see your point. It makes little sense to have a devfn that isn't
from PCI_DEVFN(slot, 0) and not use pci_scan_single_device() instead.

I think it would be good to make the first patch change as little as
possible to make it easier to analyze, then possibly test for
hypervisor when changing this behavior.

I see the Boolean equivalence, but it's difficult to verify that the
consequences are equivalent because the new code has the extra "!fn &&
!dev" test in the middle.

Fair enough, and I agree that "this is the next fn" is a nice final
return. In general I think it's good to return either an error or the
next fn as soon as it is known. It makes it harder to analyze if the
return value has already been determined but we have to mentally pass
over subsequent tests that don't affect it.

Yes, I agree that's weird. Usually I prefer "for" loops over
"do ... while", but this might be a case where it makes sense --
we *always* want to call pci_scan_single_device() once, and
"do ... while" would accomplish that without any fuss. It might even
allow us to keep the 0 return value as the termination condition,
which would be nice because fn could stay unsigned and it would reduce
the size of this patch.

I'm hoping we can end up with something like this:

unsigned int next_fn(bus, dev, fn, mf)
{
if (ari(bus)) {
if (!dev)
return 0;
return PCI_ARI_CAP_NFN();
}

if (fn >= 7)
return 0;

if (mf)
return fn + 1;

if (hypervisor())
return fn + 1;

return 0;
}

int pci_scan_slot(...)
{
unsigned int fn = 0, mf = 0;

do {
dev = pci_scan_single_device(bus, devfn + fn);
if (dev && dev->multifunction)
mf = 1;
fn = next_fn(dev, fn, mf);
} while (fn);
}

This would be minimal change to next_fn(): just add the "mf"
parameter, which removes a lot of the confusing "dev" and "!dev"
testing, and add the "fn >= 7" to remove the implicit "% 8 == 0"
failure case.

Then the jailhouse/s390 patch would trivially add the new hypervisor
case, which is clearly separated from everything else.

Oops, I don't think we can do this directly because in the ARI case,
fn is basically 8 bits wide so can be 0-255.

Yes makes sense, in my current local version I've kept the direct
return here. I think I've also found a way to keep this even for the
isolated PCI function case. See below.

Ok. I would argue that the "fn == 0 && !dev" is just the moved "!dev"
check for the initial pci_scan_single_device() that previously happened
outside the loop. With the modulo gone I can't think of any other way
to get fn == 0 but in the first iteration.

But you are right, the extra test introduces some extra churn in
next_fn(). I think we can get rid of that new condition such that
next_fn() is more easily verifiable. See below.

I agree and I think we can get this with the transformed cases too.

To me the 0 return is part of the weirdness as it is a valid fn value,
so returning it from next_fn() would naturally communicate that the
next fn is fn 0 not that there are no more functions.

It feels like making next_fn() more obvious is worth the larger patch.
I think us having to convince ourselves of these details is testament
that it currently is very hard to understand the interactions here
while the new conditions for stopping the scan are each almost obvious.
So I think if we can convince ourselves that the new code is exactly
equivalent which I believe it is when keeping the check in the ARI
path, then that is what makes the patch save.

Ooh, just realized that my series changes the behavior for jailhouse
when the passed through device is not multifunction. In the existing
code pci_scan_single_device() is called for all devfn irrespective of
whether the first function found has dev->multifunction set after
scanning it. I'm not sure if that would happen if e.g. we have multiple
SR-IOV VFs but not the PF.

The extra mf parameter feels a bit superflous as we already have dev-

>multifunction" test out of next_fn().

To me this doesn't look like less of a change to next_fn() either. That
said, it gave me an idea. One way to change next_fn() less is to keep
the "fn == 0 && !dev" test out of it and in pci_scan_slot(). That way
there are no new conditions in next_fn() and the existing conditions
can be transformed as proposed without mixing in new stuff.

With that the scan loop would look something like:

int pci_scan_slot(...)
{
int fn = 0, nr =0 ;

do {
dev = pci_scan_single_device(bus, devfn + fn);
if (dev) {
...
} else if (fn == 0) {
/* missing function 0*/
break;
}
fn = next_fn(bus, dev, fn);
} while (fn);
}

Even better this allows us to keep the "!dev" check in the ARI case as
we don't have to handle the missing function 0 in next_fn().

Let me sent you this variant before we abandon the -ENODEV return and
condition transforms.

True, we really do need to keep the ARI case separate.

I think this would be easier to verify if we kept the explicit error
return, e.g.,

if (pci_ari_enabled(bus)) {
if (!dev)
return -ENODEV;
pos = pci_find_ext_capability(...);

Otherwise we have to sort through the !dev cases below. I guess
-ENODEV would come from either the "!fn && !dev" case or the "fn > 6"
case, but it's not obvious to me that those are equivalent to the
previous code.

I don't understand why the "!dev || dev->multifunction" test needs to
change. Isn't that valid even in the hypervisor case? IIUC, you want
to return success in some cases that currently return failure, so this
case that was already success should be fine as it was.

Is this because "(fn + 1) % 8" may be zero, which previously
terminated the loop, but now it doesn't because "fn == 0" is the
*first* execution of the loop?

If so, I wonder if we could avoid that case by adding:

if (fn >= 7)
return -ENODEV;

at the very beginning. Maybe that would allow a more trivial patch
that just changed the error return from 0 to -ENODEV, i.e., leaving
all the logic in next_fn() unchanged?

I'm wondering if this could end up like:

if (fn >= 7)
return -ENODEV;

if (pci_ari_enabled(bus)) {
if (!dev)
return -ENODEV;
...
return next_fn;
}

if (!dev || dev->multifunction)
return (fn + 1) % 8;

+ if (hypervisor_isolated_pci_functions())
+ return (fn + 1) % 8;

return -ENODEV;

(The hypervisor part being added in a subsequent patch, and I'm not
sure exactly what logic you need there -- the point being that it's
just an additional success case.)

The "% 8" seems possibly superfluous then, since previously that
caused a zero return that terminated the loop. If we're using -ENODEV
to terminate the loop, we probably don't care about the mod 8.

I understood the original "dev may be NULL ..." comment, but I can't
quite parse this. "dev can be NULL" for non-zero functions? That's
basically what it said before, but it's not clear what "otherwise"
refers to.

> + */

This part isn't obvious to me yet, partly because of the "!fn && !dev"
construction. The negatives make it hard to parse.

Since "fn" isn't a boolean or a pointer, I think "fn == 0" is easier
to read than "!fn". I would test "dev" first since it logically
precedes "fn".

IIUC !dev means we haven't found a function at this device number yet.
So this:

if (!dev && fn == 0)
return -ENODEV;

means we called pci_scan_single_device(bus, devfn + 0) the first time
through the loop, and it didn't find a device so it returned NULL.

"devfn + fn" (in the existing, unchanged code) is a little bit weird.
In almost all cases, devfn is the result of "PCI_DEVFN(slot, 0)", so
we could make the interface:

pci_scan_slot(struct pci_bus *bus, int dev)

where "dev" is 0-31.

The only exceptions are a couple hotplug drivers where the fn probably
is or should be 0, too, but I haven't verified that.

But this would be scope creep, so possibly something we could consider
in the future, but not for this series.

As it might not have been clear in my previous mail. The above !dev
test just for the "devfn + 0" case is equivalent to the new:

if (!dev && fn == 0)
return -ENODEV;

As fn doesn't wrap around anymore fn == 0 is true only for the first
iteration. Both in the existing and in the changed code the first
pci_scan_single_device() happens before the first next_fn() call though
with the new code that then breaks the loop instead of the above
return. This makes sense in my mind because if the first function
doesn't exist there are no more functions except if we have isolated
PCI functions due to a hypervisor.
