Hi folks,
ACS (Access Control Services) is configured for a PCI device through pci_enable_acs().
The first thing pci_enable_acs() checks for is whether the global flag 'pci_acs_enable' is set or not.
The global flag 'pci_acs_enable' is set by the function pci_request_acs().

pci_enable_acs() function is called whenever a new PCI device is added to the system

 pci_enable_acs+0x4c/0x2a4
 pci_acs_init+0x38/0x60
 pci_device_add+0x1a0/0x670
 pci_scan_single_device+0xc4/0x100
 pci_scan_slot+0x6c/0x1e0
 pci_scan_child_bus_extend+0x48/0x2e0
 pci_scan_root_bus_bridge+0x64/0xf0
 pci_host_probe+0x18/0xd0

In the case of a system that boots using device-tree blob, pci_request_acs() is called when the
device driver binds with the respective device

of_iommu_configure+0xf4/0x230
of_dma_configure_id+0x110/0x340
pci_dma_configure+0x54/0x120
really_probe+0x80/0x3e0
__driver_probe_device+0x88/0x1c0
driver_probe_device+0x3c/0x140
__device_attach_driver+0xe8/0x1e0
bus_for_each_drv+0x78/0xf0
__device_attach+0x104/0x1e0
device_attach+0x14/0x30
pci_bus_add_device+0x50/0xd0
pci_bus_add_devices+0x38/0x90
pci_host_probe+0x40/0xd0

Since the device addition always happens first followed by the driver binding, this flow effectively
makes sure that ACS never gets enabled.

Ideally, I would expect the pci_request_acs() get called (probably by the OF framework itself) before
calling pci_enable_acs().

This happens in the ACPI flow where pci_request_acs() is called during IORT node
initialization (i.e. iort_init_platform_devices() function).

Is this understanding correct? If yes, would it make sense to call pci_request_acs() during
OF initialization (similar to IORT initialization in ACPI flow)?

Thanks,
Vidya Sagar
