The return value of pci_read_config_*() may not indicate a device error.
However, the value read by these functions is more likely to indicate
this kind of error. This presents two overlapping ways of reporting
errors and complicates error checking.

It is possible to move to one single way of checking for error if the 
dependencies on the return value of these functions are removed, then it
can later be made to return void.

Remove all uses of the return value of pci_read_config_*().
Check the actual value read for ~0. In this case, ~0 is an invalid value
thus it indicates some kind of error.

In some cases it madkes sence to make the calling function return void
without causing any bug. Future callers can use the value obtained from
these functions for validation. This case pertain to cs5536_read() and 
edac_pci_read_dword()

So why isn't the *value check done in the pci_read_config_* functions
instead of touching gazillion callers?

For example, pci_conf{1,2}_read() could check whether the u32 *value it
just read depending on the access method, whether that value is ~0 and
return proper PCIBIOS_ error in that case.

The check you're replicating

	if (val32 == (u32)~0)

everywhere, instead, is just ugly and tests a naked value ~0 which
doesn't mean anything...

I agree, if there is a change, it should be in the pci_read_* functions.

Anything returning void should not fail and likely future users of the proposed change will not do the extra checks.

Because the value ~0 has a meaning to some drivers and only
drivers have this knowledge. For those cases more checks will
be needed to ensure that it is an error that has actually
happened.

The primary goal is to make pci_config_read*() return void, so
that there is *only* one way to check for error i.e. through the
obtained value.
Again, only the drivers can determine if ~0 is a valid value. This
information is not available inside pci_config_read*().

No, ~0 means that the PCI read failed. For *every* PCI device I know.

Here's me reading from 0xf0 offset of my hostbridge:

# setpci -s 00:00.0 0xf0.l
01000000

That device doesn't have extended config space, so the last valid byte
is 0xff. Let's read beyond that:

# setpci -s 00:00.0 0x100.l
ffffffff

Of course it is.

*every* change you've done in 6/17 - this is the only patch I have
received - checks for == ~0. So that check can just as well be moved
inside pci_config_read_*().

Here's how one could do it:

#define PCI_OP_READ(size, type, len) \
int noinline pci_bus_read_config_##size \
	(struct pci_bus *bus, unsigned int devfn, int pos, type *value)	\
{									\
	int res;							\
	unsigned long flags;						\
	u32 data = 0;							\
	if (PCI_##size##_BAD) return PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER;	\
	pci_lock_config(flags);						\
	res = bus->ops->read(bus, devfn, pos, len, &data);		\

	/* Check we actually read something which is not all 1s.*/
	if (data == ~0)
		return PCIBIOS_READ_FAILED;

	*value = (type)data;						\
	pci_unlock_config(flags);					\
	return res;							\
}

Also, I'd prefer a function to *not* return void but return either
an error or success. In the success case, the @value argument can be
consumed by the caller and otherwise not.

In any case, that change is a step in the wrong direction and I don't
like it, sorry.

Wait, I'm not convinced yet.  I know that if a PCI read fails, you
normally get ~0 data because the host bridge fabricates it to complete
the CPU load.

But what guarantees that a PCI config register cannot contain ~0?
If there's something about that in the spec I'd love to know where it
is because it would simplify a lot of things.

I don't think we should merge any of these patches as-is.  If we *do*
want to go this direction, we at least need some kind of macro or
function that tests for ~0 so we have a clue about what's happening
and can grep for it.

Well, I don't think you can differentiate that case, right?

I guess this is where the driver knowledge comes into play: if the read
returns ~0, the pci_read_config* should probably return in that case
something like:

	PCIBIOS_READ_MAYBE_FAILED

to denote it is all 1s and then the caller should be able to determine,
based on any of domain:bus:slot.func and whatever else the driver knows
about its hardware, whether the 1s are a valid value or an error.
Hopefully.

Or something better of which I cannot think of right now...

There isn't.  An we even have cases like the NVMe controller memory
buffer and persistent memory region, which are BARs that store
abritrary values for later retreival, so it can't.  (now those
features have a major issue with error detection, but that is another
issue)

Applied.
