Oops, I see the ARI would affect those value, while missed the NumVFs also
would.
Let's look at the problem one by one.
1. The ARI capability.
===============================================================================
The kernel initialize the capability like this:
pci_init_capabilities()
pci_configure_ari()
pci_iov_init()
iov->offset = offset
iov->stride = stride
When offset/stride is retrieved at this point, the ARI capability is taken
into consideration.
2. The PF's NumVFs field
===============================================================================
2.1 Potential problem in current code
===============================================================================
First, is current pci code has some potential problem?
sriov_enable()
pci_read_config_word(dev, iov->pos + PCI_SRIOV_VF_OFFSET, &offset);
pci_read_config_word(dev, iov->pos + PCI_SRIOV_VF_STRIDE, &stride);
iov->offset = offset;
iov->stride = stride;
pci_write_config_word(dev, iov->pos + PCI_SRIOV_NUM_VF, nr_virtfn);
virtfn_add()
...
virtfn->devfn = pci_iov_virtfn_devfn(dev, id);
The sriov_enable() retrieve the offset/stride then write the NumVFs. According
to the SPEC, at this moment the offset/stride may change. While I don't see
some code to retrieve and store those value again. And these fields will be
used in virtfn_add().
If my understanding is correct, I suggest to move the retrieve and store
operation after NumVFs is written.
2.2 The IOV bus range may not be correct in pci_scan_child_bus()?
===============================================================================
In current pci core, when enumerating the pci tree, we do like this:
pci_scan_child_bus()
pci_scan_slot()
pci_scan_single_device()
pci_device_add()
pci_init_capabilities()
pci_iov_init()
max += pci_iov_bus_range(bus);
busnr = pci_iov_virtfn_bus(dev, dev->sriov->total_VFs - 1);
max = pci_scan_bridge(bus, dev, max, pass);
>From this point, we see pci core reserve some bus range for VFs. This
calculation is based on the offset/stride at this moment. And do the
enumeration with the new bus number.
sriov_enable() could be called several times from driver to enable SRIOV, and
with different nr_virtfn. If each time the NumVFs written, the offset/stride
will change. This means we may try to address an extra bus we didn't reserve?
Or this means it is out of control?
Do I miss something?
2.3 How can I reserve bus range in FW?
===============================================================================
This question comes from the previous one.
Based on my understanding, current pci core will rely on the bus number in HW
if pcibios_assign_all_busses() is not set. If we want to support those VFs
sits on different bus with PF, we need to reserve bus range and write the
correct secondary/subordinate in bridge. Otherwise, those VFs on different bus
may not be addressed.
Currently I am writing the code in FW to reserve the range with the same
mechanism in pci core. While as you mentioned the offset/stride may change
after sriov_enable(), I am confused whether this is the correct way.
2.4 The potential problem for [Patch 08/18]
===============================================================================
According to the SPEC, the offset/stride will change after each
sriov_enable(). This means the bus/devfn will change after each
sriov_enable().
My current thought is to fix it up in virtfn_add(). If the total VF number
will not change, we could create those pci_dn at the beginning and fix the
bus/devfn at each time the VF is truely created.
