[PATCH] PCI, x86: fix default vga ref_count

[PATCH] PCI, x86: fix default vga ref_count

[Yinghai Lu]

when __ARCH_HAS_VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE is not defined, aka EFIFB is not used,

for static path, vga_default setting is through vga_arbiter_add_pci_device.
and for x86 pci_fixup_video, will skip that.
because subsys_initcall(vga_arb_device_init) come first to call vga_arbiter_add_pci_device.

for hotplug path, even vga_arbiter_add_pci_device is called via notifier, but it
will check VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK that is not set for hotplug path.
So x86 pci_fixup_video will take over to call vga_set_default_device().

We need to hold one dev reference there.

otherwise vga_arbiter_del_pci_device that does not check VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK
will call put_device and it will cause ref_count to decrease extra.
that will have that device get deleted early wrongly.

[PATCH] PCI, x86: clear initial value for root info resources

[Yinghai Lu]

Found one system one root bus hot remove get panic.
Panic happens when try to release hostbridge resource.

It turns out that resource get reject during put into resource tree
because of conflicts.
Also that resource parent pointer have random value.

That invalid value cause it pass through check __release_pci_root_info
and panic in release_resource.

Try to use kzalloc instead.

I'm sure you're fixing a real bug, but this patch is completely unintelligible.

I tried to decipher the changelog and I failed.  I tried to figure out
the PCI reference counting from the vgaarb code, and I failed there
too.

Apparently the reference is connected with the vga_default device,
since that's what vga_arbiter_del_pci_device() checks, but
vga_set_default_device() is blissfully ignorant of references (and it
isn't used consistently anyway).

If you can do some rework to make this all make more sense, that would be great.

While you're at it, look at both the x86 and ia64 versions of
pci_fixup_video().  They are 90% identical, and it's not clear why
they should be different.  In fact, it's not clear why there's a fixup
for x86 and ia64 but not for any other architecture with PCI.

yes, only can hit this bug while remove root bus with vga adapater.

or remove bridge with child pci device that is vga adapter.

for root bus removal, the less one ref_count will call that pci device
get destroyed too early.

yes, could fix vga_set_default_device instead, but it has two versions
- no __ARCH_HAS_VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE
- EFI version...

also there is one other user for vga switching...

Don't we need the same fix for ia64 in pci_acpi_scan_root()?  Here's
what it does:

        if (windows) {
                controller->window =
                        kmalloc_node(sizeof(*controller->window) * windows,
                                     GFP_KERNEL, controller->node);

[PATCH] PCI: fix default vga ref_count

[Yinghai Lu]

when __ARCH_HAS_VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE is not defined, aka EFIFB is not used,
for static path, vga_default setting is through vga_arbiter_add_pci_device.
and later x86 pci_fixup_video, will skip setting again.
- subsys_initcall(vga_arb_device_init) come first to call vga_arbiter_add_pci_device. It will call pci_get_dev to hold one reference.

for hotplug add path, even vga_arbiter_add_pci_device is called via notifier,
but it will check VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK that is not set for hotplug path.
So x86 pci_fixup_video will take over to call vga_set_default_device().
It will not hold one refrence.

Later for hotplug remove path, vga_arbiter_del_pci_device that does not check
VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK will call put_device and it will cause ref_count to
decrease extra. that will have that pci device get deleted early wrongly.

Need to make get/put balance for both cases.

-v2: According to Bjorn, update vga_set_default_device instead...

yes, but they don't support pci_set_host_bridge_release yet. so they
should not meet this problem yet.

It shouldn't happen, but do we want to check for the vga_default == pdev

Why should we wait to fix that bug until later?  I'm not interested in
debugging this in the future.  If you fix a bug, you should always try
to fix other occurrences of the same bug at the same time.

Hi Yinghai,
	We are trying to add pci_set_host_bridge_release() for IA64, so would
appreciate it if you could help to fix IA64 too.

ok, will update the patch.

[PATCH] PCI, x86: clear initial value for root info resources

[Yinghai Lu]

Found one system one root bus hot remove get panic.
Panic happens when try to release hostbridge resource.

It turns out that resource get reject during put into resource tree
because of conflicts.
Also that resource parent pointer have random value.

That invalid value cause it pass through check __release_pci_root_info
and panic in release_resource.

Try to use kzalloc instead.

Boy, this is mangled.

Can you include the name of the system? Perhaps you can
rephrase this to say:

"On XYZ removing the root bus (through ACPI unplug) causes

Come again? Are you saying:

"The reason for this is that the resources was never initialized
properly because of .. (what type of conflict?)"?
