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.
