[PATCH V2 0/3] PNP: Allow PNP resources to be disabled (interface)

[Witold Szczeponik]

Hello everybody, 

this simple patch series continues the work begun in commit 
18fd470a48396c8795ba7256c5973e92ffa25cb3 where ACPI PNP resource templates 
with empty/disabled resources are handled.  

The aim of this patch series is to allow to set resources as "disabled" using 
the "/sys/bus/pnp/devices/*/resources" interface.  Such "disabled" resources 
are needed by some vintage IBM ThinkPads like the 600E where some devices need 
to have their IRQs disabled in order to support all the devices the 600E has. 

To better understand the motivation, let's look at an excerpt from the 600E's 
DSDT:

    Name (PLPT, ResourceTemplate ()
    {
        StartDependentFnNoPri ()
        {
            IO (Decode16, 0x03BC, 0x03BC, 0x01, 0x04)
            IRQNoFlags () {7}
        }
        /* Some entries deleted */
        StartDependentFnNoPri ()
        {
            IO (Decode16, 0x03BC, 0x03BC, 0x01, 0x04)
            IRQNoFlags () {}
        }
        EndDependentFn ()
    })

As one can see, the IRQ line for the second option is empty/disabled.  Also, 
both options share the same priority.  In order to be able to use the IRQ 7 for 
some other device, it is necessary to select the second option, which can be 
done with the patch series applied.

To this end, some preparatory work is done, simplifying the code, and fixing a
potential issue when explicitely assigning resources. 

Here's a brief description of these patches. 

[1/3] - Factor out common some code
[2/3] - Perform the actual setting
[3/3] - Handle IORESOURCE_BITS in resource allocation

The patches are applied against Linux 3.3.x. 

Comments are, as always, welcome.


Changes from previous versions:

V1 -> V2: Split [V1 2/3] into [V2 2/3] and [V2 3/3]
          Removed [V1 3/3], will be submitted separately
          Wrote more comments in response to the previous version
          Sent to a broader audience

V1:       Initial version (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/20/358)

[PATCH V2 1/3] PNP: Simplify setting of resources

[Witold Szczeponik]

This patch factors out the setting of PNP resources into one function which is 
then reused for all PNP resource types.  This makes the code more concise and 
avoids duplication.  The parameters "type" and "flags" are not used at the
moment but will be used by follow-up patches.  Placeholders for these patches 
can be found in the comment lines that contain the "TBD" marker. 

As the code does not make any changes to the ABI, no regressions are expected.

NB: While at it, support for bus type resources is added. 

The patch is applied against Linux 3.3.x.

[PATCH V2 2/3] PNP: Allow resources to be set as disabled

[Witold Szczeponik]

This patch allows to set PNP resources as "disabled".  As such, the patch is
a follow-up to commit 18fd470a48396c8795ba7256c5973e92ffa25cb3 where parsing
of ACPI PNP resources that can be disabled was made possible.  

The patch achieves this by allowing the strings "disabled" and "<none>" to be 
used as a valid PNP resource value.  The value "disabled" is used because it
also appears when reporting PNP resources, whereas the string "<none>" is
used when reporting PNP options.

The patch is required in order to support the setting of "disabled" IRQs like 
described in the commit 29df8d8f8702f0f53c1375015f09f04bc8d023c1, i.e., with
this patch applied, some vintage IBM ThinkPads like the 600E can allocate the
resources such that all devices can be used simultaneously.  

The patch is applied against Linux 3.3.x.

[PATCH 3/3] PNP: Handle IORESOURCE_BITS in resource allocation

[Witold Szczeponik]

The patch copies the flags masked by IORESOURCE_BITS from a resource's
template.  This is necessary because the resource settings require proper
IORESOURCE_BITS which are not known during the definition of these
resources using the "/sys/bus/pnp/*/*/resources" interface.  (In fact,
they should not be set by the user as the resource templates define the
proper settings.)

If the patch is not applied, the resource flags are not initialized properly 
and obscure messages in the kernel log have been seen ("invalid flags").  

The patch is applied against Linux 3.3.x.

One small correction: the subject line should read

   [PATCH V2 3/3] PNP: Handle IORESOURCE_BITS in resource allocation

to reflect that this patch is part of the second version of this patch series.

Hi Len, 

I noticed that none of the patches made it into 3.5-rc1.  These patches are important to support some (vintage) IBM ThinkPads, hence my interest in getting them included in the kernel.  But they are also of general value and should not introduce any regressions. 

If there is anything I still need to do, like providing better documentation, etc., just let me know. 

NB: I am sending this mail to both the ...@intel.com and ...@kernel.org addresses, for I received mails from you from either account.  I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this. 


Thanks.  --- Witold
