[patch 0/4] Hot Dock/Undock support

[patch 0/4] Hot Dock/Undock support

[Kristen Accardi]

This series of patches is against the -mm kernel, and will enable
docking station support.  It is an early patch, but still pretty 
functional, so I think it's worthwhile to include at this point.
For some laptops, it's necessary to use the pci=assign-busses kernel 
parameter, because some _DCK methods will attempt to assign bus numbers
to the dock bridge (incorrectly).

Supported Features:
* Hot Dock/Undock via hardware control
* Enumeration of PCI Devices on Dock Station (Hot Add/Remove) via pci 

Not Supported Yet (but will be with laptops with sane dsdts):
* _EJD, _EDL support for devices that aren't enumerable
* hot add of devices other than PCI devices (such as the serial/lpt etc).
* More thorough testing needs to be done for everything, but especially
  video, as I've not even begun to worry about that.

All docking events are handled by the acpiphp driver.  For docking,
the acpiphp driver will call the _DCK acpi method, and then insert
the docking bridge and all the pci devices behind the dock bridge.
This is in conflict with some acpi platform drivers (ibm_acpi) that already
attempt to implement a limited form of docking support only for that platform.
You may not use both drivers at the same time right now.  This is a generic
docking solution that should work for all docking stations, not just IBM,
although I tested it on an IBM docking station exclusively, because that's
all I've got right now. 

Right now devices that are not on enumerable buses (or on the PCI bus at all) 
will not be discovered by acpiphp.  Your mileage will vary on any devices 
other than PCI.  This is because in many cases, there are extra hardware 
configuration steps that need to occur after the _DCK method (because they 
really should have been done in the _DCK method but were not).  Even with PCI 
devices, you may find that some things don't work properly, because there 
was some extra configuration step that needed to occur that didn't get done 
as part of _DCK.  For example, included in this patch series is a quirk for the
IBM Dock Station II, which seemed to need the cardbus controller interrupts
tied together, but this didn't get done with any of the laptops I tested
with.  I've not yet been able to determine what needs to be done to the 
USB controller on the T30 or T41 to make it discover the USB hub on the
docking station, although this works fine on the T20, and also I hear on
the T42, although I've not tested the T42 myself.  

You may also find that as soon as you call _DCK, everything is
broken.  For example, on the T30 laptop I tested, the _DCK method would set
the dock bridge's parent secondary bus number to zero, even if it should
have been something other than zero.  This specific case is handled in
the acpiphp driver in the post_dock_fixups() routine, but this may need to
be changed for the future if it starts to get out of hand. 

There is a workaround right now in this patch for a problem with acpi, where
the acpi thread that notifies acpiphp of the dock event will deadlock while
executing the _DCK method.  I've managed to avoid trying to solve this 
problem for now by spawning a separate thread to handle the _DCK, but 
eventually this will be addressed when I'm brave enough. 

Please comment on these patches, and test if you have a docking station
available.  When you find problems, if you would like me to debug them,
please load the acpiphp driver with the debug param (modprobe acpiphp debug=1),
and send me the output of dmesg -s 100000 as well as lspci -vv -x -n with
the laptop booted in the station, and then the output after booting out
of the station and attempting to dock, as well as a copy of your disassembled
dsdt.  Make sure you have PCI debugging enabled, and debugging enabled for
whatever device you are having issues with.  This should be a good starting 
point.

They seem to be in 2.6.16-rc1-mm1 patch, good.

I'll try to test them and write some small docking HOWTO (or maybe
force you to write it :-). This is not exactly easy to setup...

On thinkpad X32: I selected

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=y
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_FAKE is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_IBM is not set
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=y
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=y

Recompiled, rebooted with machine out of dock. /sys/bus/pci/slots/ is
empty. I then inserted machine into dock, and locked it:

root@amd:/sys/bus/pci/slots# echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
root@amd:/sys/bus/pci/slots# ls
root@amd:/sys/bus/pci/slots#

...still empty. What am I doing wrong?

You may not use the ibm_acpi driver at the same time as the acpiphp
driver for docking.  This is because the ibm_acpi driver also tries to
handle the dock event notification, and doesn't actually do any
hotplugging of the devices.  So, you want to set that config option to
N.  What you are doing above is actually writing to the ibm_acpi driver.
I didn't provide a way to do undocking via software. I just use the
button on the dock station.  You should however, see something
in /sys/bus/pci/slots - can you scan your dmesg to make sure that the
acpiphp driver is running?  You might run it as a module and enable
debugging:

modprobe acpiphp debug=1

This way we can see if it finds your dock slot and registers the notify
handler.

Thanks for testing!

Result is:

root@amd:/data/l/linux-mm/drivers/pci/hotplug# insmod acpiphp.ko debug=1
insmod: error inserting 'acpiphp.ko': -1 No such device
root@amd:/data/l/linux-mm/drivers/pci/hotplug# dmesg | tail -3
Failure of coda_cnode_make for root: error -19
acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
acpiphp_glue: Total 0 slots
root@amd:/data/l/linux-mm/drivers/pci/hotplug#

Should I have CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM set?

Re: [Pcihpd-discuss] Re: [patch 0/4] Hot Dock/Undock support

Hi!

There's a bug in error handling:

int __init acpiphp_glue_init(void)
{
        int num = 0;

        acpi_walk_namespace(ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE, ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT,
                        ACPI_UINT32_MAX, find_root_bridges, &num,
NULL);

        if (num <= 0)
                return -1;
        else
                acpi_pci_register_driver(&acpi_pci_hp_driver);

        return 0;
}

You register driver here, but if acpiphp_get_num_slots() returns 0
later, you return -ENODEV, aborting load of driver, but without
undergistering that driver. It oopses after a while. Same problem if
init_slots() returns error.

Hum, I don't think so (but maybe someone else knows for sure), I thought
that driver was specifically for a certain kind of IBM server, not an
IBM laptop.  It looks like from this output that the acpiphp is not
recognizing any hotplug capable devices on your laptop.  I believe that
this is defined by acpiphp as a slot which is "ejectable", meaning
contains an ACPI method called _EJ0.  I think we should take a look at
your dsdt to make sure that it seems reasonable, and also perhaps you
could send the output of lspci -vv -x with the laptop booted in the dock
just to see what kind of dock bridge you have and make sure everything
seems like it should work.  Please send the disassembled output of your
dsdt - if you've never done it before, instructions for doing this can
be found here: 
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php

Few cleanups for acpiphp_glue, and spelling fix in warning. It still
does not use consistent function definitions, but lets pretentd it is

This one needs some more thought on how to fix, because I'm not certain
if we have the code in place to back out of this once we find root
bridges that exist.  it might be easy, but it might not be.

To the best of my knowledge, the X-series docking station doesn't 
contain any PCI devices. It's an extension of the IDE bus plus some 
broken out serial, parallel, USB and so on. I'd expect driver support 
for it to just require supporting the dock object and calling its eject 
routine when the user hits the eject button.

My docking station (there are two different versions of them,
"regular" and "port extender") certainly contains PCI device. I
installed hp100 network card into it :-).

Device GDCK looks like dock to my untrained eye. Unfortunately its

Ahha, and ibm_acpi.c agrees with me.

IBM_HANDLE(dock, root, "\\_SB.GDCK",    /* X30, X31, X40 */

        Scope (\_SB)
        {
            Device (GDCK)

                Name (_HID, EisaId ("IBM0079"))
                Name (_CID, 0x150CD041)
                Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
...
                Method (_DCK, 1, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (0x00, Local0)
                    If (LEqual (GGID (), 0x03))
                    {

                    }

                    If (LEqual (GGID (), 0x00))
                    {
                        Store (\_SB.PCI0.PCI1.DOCK.DDCK (Arg0), Local0)
                    }

                    Return (Local0)
                }

                Method (_EJ0, 1, NotSerialized)
                {

so the problem that I see is that this dsdt defines two separate dock
devices, one outside the scope of pci, and one within it.  The one
outside the scope of pci defines the _EJ0 and _DCK methods.  So, when
acpiphp loads, it scans the pci slots for ejectable slots, finds none
(because _EJ0 is defined in the dock device that is outside the scope of
pci) and exits.  This dsdt is different from the others I've used in
that most of them define all methods related to docking under the actual
dock bridge (within the scope of pci).  perhaps some acpi people can
shed some light on the best way to handle this - otherwise I'm sure I
can hack something up that will be less than acceptable :).

ACPI has (had?) a braindamage - it drops devices that do not present
when initially scanning ACPI namespace. So if you boot undocked - too
bad. Driver won't ever see your docking station.

Yeah, that's not the problem here.  The problem is that I assumed that
all _DCK methods would be defined under the actual pci dock bridge
device.  It seems that was a bad assumption.  I am redoing this patch so
as to not assume that anymore.  I'll repost it as soon as I'm done with
a little bit of testing.
