[PATCH] pci-hyperv: Use only 16 bit integer for PCI domain

[Haiyang Zhang]

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com>

This patch uses the lower 16 bits of the serial number as PCI
domain, otherwise some drivers may not be able to handle it.

Can you give any more details about this?  Which drivers, for
instance?  Why do drivers care about the domain at all?  Can we or
should we make this more explicit and consistent in the PCI core,
e.g., pci_domain_nr() is currently defined to return "int"; maybe it
should be u32?  (Although I think "int" is the same size as "u32" on
all arches anyway).

It's Nvidia driver.

Piotr, could you explain why the driver expects 16 bit domain number?

Which of the many nvidia drivers in the tree?  Just fix it instead of
coming up with stupid workarounds like this.

Hi Haiyang and all,

First, a tiny nit about the patch: it would be good to add "Fixing a problem that was introduced 
with commit <4a9b0933bdfc>", in the patch commit message.

Piotr and I just now worked through both the driver and the ACPI/PCI history a little bit, and it 
brings up an interesting question: would it be better for the kernel, long-term, if we changed 
pci_domain_nr() and its callers to use 16 bit values (it's a mini-project, but not too hard)? I ask, 
because:

    a) the ACPI specification[1] says that PCI domains ("PCI Segment Groups") are 16 bits. The other 
16 bits are reserved. I'm concerned that if we don't clamp these to 16 bits in the kernel, virtual 
machines and other experimenters may continue to do things that cause problems--especially if 
ACPI/PCI ever tries to use those reserved 16 bits.

    b) A whirlwind survey of a few non-x86 arches shows that they are casting or truncating the PCI 
domain to 16 bits (here, if other, real linux-pci experts have some input, that would help!)

    c) Looking back at the original commit that added PCI domain support, Linux has specified the 
storage size as 32 bits, right from the start...but it looks like merely a convenience, rather than 
an exact match for a specification.

Please, let me emphasize that the driver can be changed to use 32 bits as well, no problem. But I 
really do want the kernel to have the most accurate and correct code, too, and it really looks (so 
far) like it wants to be 16 bits.

Also...it would be nice if we could use Haiyang's patch as at least a temporary fix, because distros 
are just today releasing the previous code, and HyperV will start breaking "occasionally", depending 
on whether the 32-bit virtual (fake) PCI domain fits within 16 bits. (If not, then we can rush out a 
driver update to fix it, but there will be a window of time with some breakage there.)

Hi John,

please fix your quoting of the previous mails, thanks!


What ACPI defines does not matter at all.  Linux uses 32-bit domains
IDs, and on x86 specifily uses those for non-ACPI enumarated domains
(e.g. VMD).

You've also not demontrated any issue with any Linux driver yet.

Just send the fix to whatever driver is broken to the driver maintainer.
But I can't find a single broken driver in the tree, and as you know
nothing else matters for Linux anyway.

Shoot, sorry about any quoting issues. I'm sufficiently new to conversing 
on these lists that I'm not even sure which mistake I made.

The NVIDIA out-of-tree driver has historically treated domains as 16-bit. 
So this showed up when people tried to run that driver in a hyper-v VM.

Done: that would be us. :)

Yes, I looked at Nouveau, and I see that they allow for a 32-bit domain, 
so I agree that we haven't found any in-tree drivers that have a problem.

Anyway, thanks for the answers and explanations.

Re: [PATCH] pci-hyperv: Use only 16 bit integer for PCI domain

[Christoph Hellwig]

FYI, I've also got another driver in progress that will need domains
assigned outside the ACPI range, so it's not just limited to VMD.

If you've sent patches to X.org and DPDK, please includes URLs to
them.

Christoph pointed out the conflict with VMD: vmd_find_free_domain()
allocates domains starting at 0x10000 to avoid the 16-bit domains
returned by ACPI _SEG.

I think we need a solution that works for both Nvidia/Hyper-V and VMD.
As it is, it looks like this will fix one place but break things
elsewhere.

If you believe that this will not break VMD, please explain.

Both projects have stable ABI requirements. And the lead time to get
the change propagated out to applications is long (>5yrs) even longer
with the Enterprise distro's. As developers we can all just pass the
buck but this doesn't help users in any reasonable time fram. It is not
as simple as just making a patch or pull request for their upstream
code bases.

And they will all break behind VMD for example, so NAK.  Linux domains
are 32 bits.

According to Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>, there are
additional programs, like X.org, DPDK, are also using 16-bit only
PCI domain numbers. So, I'm submitting this patch for re-consideration.

Besides Nvidia drivers, we also found X.org, and DPDK handle
