Hi!
This patch adds support for motherboard devices, so that you can see
them in driverfs.
Should ide be presented to driverfs as bus with two devices on it?
What about "legacy" bus? It is not in this release, and I'm not 100%
sure who should generate it. Many architectures will need such bus so
maybe it belongs in drivers/base in order to avoid duplicate code?

Don't you fear that, with such a vague name, it'll end up being used as
a generic thing where all not-well-defined hacks will end ? (? la

This is a tough one... Since there is a typically a single PCI device
for IDE, a PCI or HOST bridge should register an IDE device. The IDE
device would in turn register two IDE controllers, which would in turn
register up to two disks.

I think one should have a conceptual "system bus" as a virtual parent,
when none is present. For example my old 486 has PCI, but the only PCI
device is IDE. There are the standard legacy devices like parallel and
serial, but they do not show up under an ISA bridge device. This 486
system would be a candidate for this system bus.

I think that ide should get its own bus, as a child of the ide controller.
I haven't looked at ide yet at all. But, on most modern systems, the ide
controller is a function of the southbridge, so ide devices should go
under that. Like what the usb stuff does now...

I've had this actually in my queue for some time, though I've been
waititng for some of the other changes to go in (most of which went in to
2.5.3).
Adding simple legacy and system device support is trivial - patches are
attached. Basically, you would do something like:
static struct device old_legacy_device = {
bus_id: "artifact",
name: "Some old device that someone is still using",
};
old_dev_init()
{
...
register_legacy_device(&old_legacy_device);
}
And it shows up as $MNTPT/root/legacy/artifact/
Similarly for system devices with register_sys_device().
Unfortunately, the diff is relative to what I've already sent Linus. He
says he applied them, so you'll have to wait until 2.4.1-pre1 comes.
For clarification:
Legacy devices are typical legacy PC devices, like floppy drives, parallel
ports, serial ports, etc. They are devices that you can typically access
through the standard, hardcoded I/O addresses; and without having to
enable the upstream parents to do so.
'legacy' is what I've always heard them referred to as, as a whole. The
name may imply old and/or deprecated, and in a lot of cases they are. But,
it's a easy, common way to group them.
System devices are devices are attached to the motherboard, but aren't
typical devices that you would read or write to. Yet, you still want to
export an interface to them. This includes CPUs, PICs, RTC, etc.

Also included are samples for the keyboard and RTC drivers (keyboard is a
legacy device, RTC is a system device)

What about, say, a Promise PCI IDE card? You really need to reference
the parent PCI device when the is one.

LOL? I don't understand...
I don't see how any of those cases are necessarily hard to visualize.
Case 1: Typical PC with IDE as function of southbridge.
pci0
|
-- 07.2 (IDE controller)
|
--- disk0
|
--- disk1
Case 2: Promise IDE Controller with 2 channels
pci0
|
--- 03.0 (Promise IDE Controller)
|
--- channel0
|
---- disk0
|
---- disk1
Case 3: Quad channel DEC Bridge
Ok, maybe I don't understand completely what you're talking about, Andre.
That's just a 4 channel IDE controller, that happens to be on the board?
So, it's looks the same as the last example.
Unless, I'm missing something, which is always likely.

Yep. And then you hit the CRIS where the ide appears to be on the CPU 8)
I don't think anyone should be trying to define where the IDE goes in the
heirarchy like this - its dependant on the situation and the platform.

actually it's two two channel controllers on one board...

Exactly. My point was that based on the situation, you know the hierarchy
and you can use it.

I'm not entirely familiar with the driverfs API but wouldn't an API
function to do all that strcpy and other init assignments be a bit
cleaner? I see lots of retyping going on otherwise, someone feel free to
hit me with a clue bat if i'm missing something...

Actually, that's something I didn't notice with the patch: you need a
non-NULL bus_id inorder to register the device.
Something like this for singular devices would work better:
static struct device device_i8259A = {
name: "i8259A",
bus_id: "0020",
};
Though, where does that bus_id come from?

These are easy ones, but what about
Case 4: 386 with no PCI
and what's worse
Case 5: 486 with both PCI and VLB, where ide is on the VLB?
cases 4 and 5 are IMO hard, because it is difficult to know where it
really is... and I'm not sure current kernel knows it.

I guess that's okay. We do not helper with 1000 arguments to fill
structure up. It will be strcpy sometimes, sprintf
sometimes.... Better leave that alone.

Does the IDE subsystem always know where it sits? I.e. does it know that a
particular IDE controller is a function of the south bridge, an add-on PCI
card, or directly on the motherboard?
If it does, there is no problem. It can properly add itself in the correct
hierarchial position.
If it doesn't, it's still not much of a problem (at least not at first
glance).
If the IDE controller doesn't know it's parent, create an 'ide' bus as a
child of the root and put ide devices under it. If there are multiple
controllers or channels, represent them accordingly.

I suspect PnPBIOS knows for the 486. There is PnPbios code in 2.4-ac
perfectly ready for a 2.5 merger

PnPBIOS is nasty, and I suspect it is not present/working on all
models, right?

Uh?
I'd expect legacy bus (it fits description of legacy device, right?)
and then ide bus hanging from the IDE controller on legacy bus, then
disks on the ide bus...

For the most part it's fine, it just needs the floppy driver / ps2
driver (and maybe some others) fixed up to not allocate regions
that pnpbios already reserved. Other than these issues, it seems
to be working well. It's certainly handled itself ok on all my
test boxes (Even the weird compaq with the fscked up pnpbios --
it claims to have pnpbios, yet when you call it, you get feature
not supported return codes. cute.)

Hey, speaking of PnPBios, is there a spec somewhere?
Speaking of specs, does anyone know of some sort of list of specs of
things kernel related - platforms, hardware and firmware? sandpile.org is
good for most x86 things, though they are merely document names.

I was hunting for it yesterday for someone else who asked me,
but I didn't turn up a pdf. The only copy I seem to have is
in dead-tree format (Mindshare PCI book).

Jeff Garzik has gathered some stuff together at

Other stuff is kind of... 'well dispersed'

It is address on (what used to be) ISA bus. I'm selecting lowest when
I have a choice.

It is *BIOS*, and that makes me nervous.
Anyway, I guess that for old boxen, it is okay to just put ide onto
/driver/legacy/XXX (and for new boxen probably too, we do not want
special code calling PnPbios/PCI just to put drivers to the right
place in the tree, right?)
Pavel
PS: I suspect that those southbridge-integrated IDE controllers are
not *really* on PCI... They certainly do not use PCI IRQ A..D.
