[PATCH v2 0/4] PCI: arm64/powerpc: Fix parsing of linux, pci-probe-only

[PATCH v2 0/4] PCI: arm64/powerpc: Fix parsing of linux, pci-probe-only

[Marc Zyngier]

The pci-host-generic driver parses the linux,pci-probe-only property,
and assumes that it will have a boolean parameter.

Turns out that the Seattle DTS file has a naked "linux,pci-probe-only"
property, which leads to the driver dereferencing some unsuspecting
memory location. Nothing really bad happens (we end up reading some
other bit of DT, fortunately), but that not a reason to keep it this
way. Turns out that the Pseries code (where this code was lifted from)
may suffer from the same issue.

The first patch introduces a common (and fixed) version of that check
that can be used by drivers and architectures that require it. The two
following patches change the pci-host-generic driver and the powerpc
code to use it.

Finally, the bad property is removed from the Seatle DTS, because it
is simply not necessary (it actually prevents me from using SR-IOV,
which otherwise runs fine without the probe-only thing).

This has been tested on the offending Seattle board.

[PATCH v2 1/4] of/pci: Add of_pci_check_probe_only to parse "linux, pci-probe-only"

[Marc Zyngier]

Both pci-host-generic and Pseries parse the "linux,pci-probe-only"
to engage the PCI_PROBE_ONLY mode, and both have a subtle bug that
can be triggered if the property has no parameter.

Provide a generic implementation that can be used by both.

[PATCH v2 2/4] PCI: pci-host-generic: Fix lookup of linux, pci-probe-only property

[Marc Zyngier]

When pci-host-generic looks for the probe-only property, it seems
to trust the DT to be correctly written, and assumes that there
is a parameter to the property.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and some firmware expose
this property naked. The driver ends up making a decision based on
whatever the property pointer points to, which is likely to be junk.

Switch to the common of_pci.c implementation that doesn't suffer
from this problem.

[PATCH v2 3/4] powerpc: PCI: Fix lookup of linux, pci-probe-only property

[Marc Zyngier]

When find_and_init_phbs() looks for the probe-only property, it seems
to trust the firmware to be correctly written, and assumes that there
is a parameter to the property.

It is conceivable that the firmware could not be that perfect, and it
could expose this property naked (at least one arm64 platform seems to
exhibit this exact behaviour). The setup code the ends up making
a decision based on whatever the property pointer points to, which
is likely to be junk.

Instead, switch to the common of_pci.c implementation that doesn't
suffer from this problem and ignore the property if the firmware
couldn't make up its mind.

[PATCH v2 4/4] arm64: dts: Drop linux, pci-probe-only from the Seattle DTS

[Marc Zyngier]

The linux,pci-probe-only property mandates an argument to indicate
whether or not to engage the "probe-only" mode, but the Seattle
DTS just provides a naked property, which is illegal.

Also, it turns out that the board is perfectly happy without
probe-only, so let's drop this altogether.

Do we need support for pci-probe-only in pci-host-generic at all?
You're removing the use in amd-overdrive.dts, and there are no other
DTs in the kernel tree that mention it.

If we can live without it, that would be nice.  It seems like a relic from
days when we couldn't reliably assign resources.  (I'm not saying we can do
that reliably even today, but I'd rather make it reliable than turn it
off.)

Kvmtool certainly uses it (and generates its own DT, hence why you don't
see it in mainline). Not sure about qemu, though.

You could probably just make this take void, as the probe-only property
is always in the /chosen node.

QEMU definitely doesn't do proble-only. Is this driver used on real PPC machines too? In that case you also won't see the dt, because it comes with the hardware ;).

Do you know why kvmtool wants probe-only?  Would something break if we
didn't support probe-only?  I guess we'd be looking for a case where
Linux assigns resources and that assignment doesn't work with kvmtool?

"pci-probe-only" doesn't appear in qemu
(git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git).  (I guess Alexander confirmed
that later.)

I think you're asking about pci-host-generic.c, and the answer is
"no," because pci-host-generic.c currently depends on CONFIG_ARM.

Humm, I bet we could break a lot of machines if we fixed the core code
to properly make pp->value NULL when there is no value.

It is preferred to use of_property_read_u32 to avoid just these types
of problems.

It's basically because the BARs aren't writable other than to find the
region size. It could fixed with a bit of pain, but it doesn't help older
kvmtools that do work with mainline today.

I don't know enough OF to really understand this, but I infer that
this is a suggestion for improving the patch.  Should I be waiting for
a v3 series?
