My goal is that a user should never have to specify a kernel boot
parameter or edit a modules.conf file, but the user did previously
have some way to influence whether we use pciehp or acpiphp. I know
we still have some issues, particularly with acpiphp, so I'm a little
concerned that by removing the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m, we might be
removing a way to work around those issues.

A distro that previously used CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m will now have
to use =y, so modules.conf is no longer applicable. Can you convince
me that the user still has a way to work around issues? I spent quite
a while trying to understand the pciehp/acpiphp dependencies, but it's
pretty tangled web.

I would definitely like to see the changelog mention this issue and
any changes a user might have to make, e.g., to replace a modules.conf
edit. It might be that this involves the "pciehp_force" option, and
if it does, we should probably add a mention of this in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

Can the Kconfig change be split into its own small patch without all
the other stuff, or are they inseparable?

I will try my best to explain the relationships between pciehp and acpiphp
as of v3.9-rc6.

The pciehp driver always have priority over the acpiphp driver.
That is, the acpiphp driver rejects binding to an ACPI PCI hotplug slot if
a) The slot's parent is a PCIe port with native hotplug capability
b) OSPM has taken over PCIe native hotplug control from BIOS.
!(root->osc_control_set & OSC_PCI_EXPRESS_NATIVE_HP_CONTROL)
The above check has no dependency on the loading order of pciehp and acpiphp
drivers. So converting acpiphp driver to builit-in should be ok.

On the other hand, I remember Yinghai has mentioned that some PCIe ports
with native hotplug capability doesn't work as expected with the pciehp driver
and should be managed by the acpiphp driver. Currently we could achieve that
by using boot param "pcie_ports=compat", but this will disable PCIe port
drivers altogether. And I also remember that Rafael has mentioned that
some BIOSes exhibit strange dependency among PCIe OSC controls, so it's
not feasible to only disable PCIe native hotplug.

For "pciehp_force", it does only affect the way pciehp to detect a hotplug
slot, it doesn't affect acpiphp at all.

To sum up, converting acpiphp as built-in should not affect the relationship
between pciehp and acpiphp driver. So how about splitting this patch into
two and adding more comments for the Kconfig change?

Regards!

My concern is that a user used to be able to remove acpiphp from
modules.conf. Now removing acpiphp will require a kernel rebuild.
But maybe that won't turn out to be a problem.

Yes, please at least split this into two. While you're at it, please
also split the first patch into "remove unnecessary is_added guard"
and "cleanup."

Hi Bjorn,
If user don't want to occupy the slot by acpiphp. Conservative approach, what about add a kernel parameter
to control acpiphp to enumerate slot ?

Thanks!

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. A "Please report a bug if you have to
use this parameter" chicken switch. Hopefully nobody will need to use
it, but if somebody *does* need it, it's a lot better than having to
tell him to rebuild the kernel.

Yes, I agree. We will add this patch to the patchset and resend soon.
