This bus configuration item is misnamed, as it actually refers to the
probing process.

New configuration elements are added to the buses. They make the ABI
unstable and will continue to do so.
This new control scheme allows to add new bus operators without
breaking the ABI and by only expanding the API.
This helps having more stability in core EAL subsystems, while allowing
flexibility for future evolutions.

I am assuming that a driver implementation can take more than ITEM_MAX
control knobs. It is opaque to the library. Are we on same page?
For example, a bus driver can implement:
rte_bus_XXX_ctrl_item {
<Leaving space for allowing rte_bus.h implementations>
RTE_BUS_XYZ_KNOB_1 = 100,
RTE_BUS_XYZ_KNOB_2,
RTE_BUS_XYZ_KNOB_3,
};
without the library knowing or restricting the API to RTE_BUS_CTRL_ITEM_MAX.
I see that in your code for PCI (Patch 5/8: pci_ctrl) you have
restricted the control knob to RTE_BUS_CTRL_ITEM_MAX.
I hope that such restrictions would not float to library layer.
If we are on same page, should this be documented as a code comment
somewhere?
if not, do you think what I am stating makes sense?

Similarly, the driver implementation can choose to implement a operation
which is not defined in the above structures. Obviously, the application
is expected to know - it being a custom knob.

I see what you mean, but I'm not sure it would be a good thing.
Actually, I think proposing this ITEM_MAX was a mistake.
Regarding the specific bus knobs:
- If a single bus needs this knob, then it would be better for the dev
to add it as part of the bus' public API, following the correct
library versioning processes. This would not break this bus control
structure ABI.
- If more than one bus implement this knob, then it should be proposed
as part of the library API. Buses adding this new knob would break
their ABI, other buses would be left untouched.
This makes me realize that proposing this ITEM_MAX value is not good to
the intended purpose of this patchset:
- If a bus implementation use a reference to ITEM_MAX, then the control
structure ABI would be broken by any new control knob added, even if the
bus does not implement it. Granted, it would not break the driver
structure itself, but still. My PCI implementation is thus incorrect.
Therefore I think that it would be best to remove this ITEM_MAX altogether,
forcing bus developpers to use other ways that would not break their
ABIs every other release.

Sorry, but can you elaborate on "...add it as part of bus' public API"?
This is what I had in mind:
ctrl_fn = rte_bus_control_get(busname, RTE_BUS_XYZ_KNOB_1);
(unlike specific functions like probe_mode_get/set and iova_mode_get/set)
Where ctrl_fn would then point to a method specific to bus for KNOB_1
configuration parameter.
Thereafter, ctrl_fn(KNOB_1, void *arg).
What other public API method are you hinting at?

Agree, if more than one bus implements same operation.

Changes to enum wouldn't break ABI as far as I understand. Adding a new
entry only expands it to a new declaration without impacting its size or
signature.

Removing ITEM_MAX is OK from my side. It doesn't serve much purpose.
But, not for the "ABI break" reason.

I was thinking that buses would simply expose a function
rte_busname_xyz_knob1(void *arg);
as part of their public API. This would not require an ABI break for
this bus, as it would only be an API extension and would not use
callbacks within the bus structure.
Thus, I think that for buses tempted to propose a specific API, this would be
the cleanest way.
The bus proposing it as part of a custom control section would only be
interesting when the operation is expected to become a standard API for
other buses but was not yet accepted. Applications would be able to use
the interface and the ITEM could be added later. But I doubt this is
encouraging best practices as far as API evolution go.

Adding the enum would not break ABI indeed, but I was thinking about the
way the bus control structure would be declared.
However, upon second inspection on the my PCI implementation, I did not
actually use ITEM_MAX:

I just thought I had used RTE_BUS_CTRL_ITEM_MAX instead of RTE_BUS_CTRL_OP_MAX.
So my line of thought was simply that if any new item was declared, the control
structure would then change size.
But I was mistaken, so that's actually not a problem :)
Having ITEM_MAX available would still make those kind of mistakes
possible however. It might be better to prevent it completely by
removing it. This would however also prevent a custom control section.
Do you think this would be useful enough to justify the slightly more
complex maintenance and review of bus implementations?

Yes, that is possible but only for cases where some very specific
functionality needs to be exposed which is not expected to be
generalized ever.

Yes, agree with your point.
As such APIs are outside control of DPDK framework, they are something
which will never impact the library layer.

So, technically both are feasible: 1) having a bus specific API like
rte_busname_xyz_knob1 and 2) expanding OPS with bus specific values and
allowing application to use them.
But, in either case, if the APIs can be generalized and/or can be used
by multiple buses, they can definitely be moved into the library API
(e.g. rte_bus_probe_mode_set) and/or can be added to rte_bus_ctrl_item.
To summarize, I am OK with your approach.

It might be a naive question, but, why do you think it would prevent a
custom control section?
Assuming that only RTE_BUS_CTRL_ITEM_MAX is not available
(RTE_BUS_CTRL_OPS_MAX is available), Bus driver can still define:
static rte_bus_ctrl_t pci_ctrl_ops[][RTE_BUS_CTRL_OP_MAX] = {
[ITEM_1] = {
{...},
{...},
},
[ITEM_2] = {
{...},
{...},
},
[ITEM_NOT_IN_RTE_BUS.H] = {
{...},
{...},
},
}
(I know you disagree with third element of above definition - but
somehow I feel it is a good addition for defining a knob which doesn't
require an additional API call. Just assume as an example for now, please!)

Having RTE_BUS_CTRL_ITEM_MAX is helpful if one has to iterate over all
ctrl_items - but, that might never be required in my perception. Other
than that, I don't have a strong reason to say that ITEM_MAX is required.
Though, same is not true for OP_MAX - which is required for definitions
like above.

Generic layer shouldn't be concerned about "pci" or other bus.
Problem would be to find which bus this option needs to be set.
What I can think of as options is:
1. Storing this configuration until we can parse the argument for which
<bus> the argument has been created. That would mean changing the way
the "-b" and "-w" are passed and to allow non-PCI device identifier to
be passed.
2. Call each bus bus->ctrl and let it decide what to do based on the args.
- so, have a wrapper over rte_bus_probe_mode_set for all buses rather
than taking any one bus as option.
(2) sounds most plausible for now as the application will not send the
bus name as argument.
And if brute force is not required, we need to split the argument to
know the bus - after making the device naming standardized (<bus>:<...>)
Even before that, we need to agree that "-w' and "-b" are not more valid
only for PCIs.
Above is more of loud thinging - I don't have concrete thought on this
for now. I'll revisit this after reviewing the patches in this series.

Apologies. I see that some work has been done for this in devargs series
- I was too quick to reply on this.
Let me come back to you on this after reading through that series.

Add the PCI bus control operator.
This operator gives access to the probe policy setting, allowing to
read and write this configuration item. The previous existing
functionality is thus restored to the same level.
Probe policy is blacklist mode by default for the PCI bus. Configuration
is allowed once, and is then considered immutable.

Leverage the new bus control framework for the IOVA mode
configuration item.
The previous version is left for the transition in drivers
implementation and will be removed afterward.

Implement the ctrl operator for the IOVA mode configuration item.
The previous functionality is kept identical, only the new control
framework is used.
All operators are made private as there is no reason to expose them.
