Or have you ever seen such? If not, I would say let's leave this as it is. Regards, Bin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Or have > you ever seen such? If not, I would say let's leave this as it is. Yes, this hardware does exist; that's the reason I stumbled across this issue at all. Without this change, the device's PCI BARs don't get programmed, so it isn't usable after booting the OS. I would have greatly preferred to be able to say that a vendor ID of 0 is invalid, but can't find any documentation to back up that assertion. Hence the patch.

For example, on some Intel cards, PCI vendor ID and device ID can be loaded from an EEPROM and if EEPROM content is wrong, it may expose wrong IDs. Anyway zero does not look like a valid one though.

From the registry point of view, only registered numbers are valid. I.e. if I create a programmable PCI(e) card, I can pick any number in the range [0x0000-0xFFFE] during development and it should work. I will try not to clash with already registered numbers (to prevent the wrong drivers probing the endpoint), and preferably I would try to re-use the (FPGA) silicon vendor's ID, although I am well aware that it should change going into production. If only 0xFFFF is reserved, then [0-0xFFFE] should be accepted in the code, right? If we disallow 0x0000, on what arguments do we do that? Middle solution is to accept the ID with a warning.

Thanks for weighing in, this is exactly what I'm trying to find out. FWIW, the linux kernel works just fine with a vendor ID of 0. > > Middle solution is to accept the ID with a warning. Would the reason for the warning be that this change doesn't entirely fix the problem? If so, it seems like the place to put such a warning would be on the code that doesn't properly handle a vendor ID of 0 yet. But not sure it's necessary. I did take a quick look at what it would require to better handle the vendor ID 0 case everywhere. It looks like the main problem is that struct pci_device_id with vendor and device both 0 is being used to indicate the end of an array. Not that complicated to change, but it isn't trivial either, so figure it's best to leave for a future changeset. Thanks, Gregory ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

How does Linux handle the end of the array, while it also supports 0x0000, 0x0000? Thanks, Leon. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Well, looking at http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c , in pci_match_id(), it stops if !(vendor || subvendor || class_mask), so I'd hazard a guess that the device I have is working is because it has a nonzero class ID. Strictly speaking that is probably still invalid, but it's much less likely to happen. It also supports dynamic IDs for which it iterates over a linked list. Unfortunately there seems to be a fair bit of code relying on all 0s having a special meaning, and it looks like all PCI_ANY_ID has its own meaning as well based off of the fact that there's a static pci_device_id_any struct in there that's used if driver_override is set in the input struct pci_dev. I can't say more than that without digging into the log for that change or finding the users of the driver_override flag.
