Hi Thierry,

This is the -EFAULT that propagates to pci-tegra.c's ->probe() and fails
to bind the driver.

I'm not exactly sure what's causing the duplicate here because it's
rather difficult to get at something useful from just the ->fwnode, but
I'm fairly sure that the reason this breaks is because the Tegra driver
will defer probe due to some regulators that aren't available on the
first try. Given the above code and the rest of this file, I can't see a
way to "fix" the driver and remove the I/O range on failure.

This is doubly bad because this doesn't only leak the ranges on probe
deferral, but also on driver unload, and we just added support for
building the Tegra driver as a loadable module, so these are actually
cases that can happen in regular uses of the driver.

I have no idea on how to fix this. Anyone know of a quick fix to restore
PCI for Tegra other than reverting all of these changes?

I suppose an API could be added to unregister the range, but the calling
sequence is rather obfuscated, so removing the range will look totally
asymmetric, I'm afraid.

Here's the call stack:

	tegra_pcie_probe()
	tegra_pcie_parse_dt()
	of_pci_range_to_resource()
	pci_register_io_range()
	logic_pio_register_range()

So the range here is registered as part of a resource parsing function,
which is supposed to not have any side-effects. There's no equivalent of
that parsing routine (i.e. no "unparse" function that would undo the
effects of parsing).

Perhaps a cleaner way would be to decouple the parsing from the actual
request step that has the side-effect.

This could be added if we agreed that it would be useful.


Going back in history a little, it looks like even before this commit
the I/O range registration was triggered by the parsing code and even
the range leak was there, except that it caused pci_register_io_range()
to return 0 rather than -EFAULT. Perhaps the quickest fix for this would
be to do the same in the new code and restore drivers that accidentally
depend on this behaviour.

I can confirm that the following fixes the issue for me, though I don't
think it's a very clean fix given that the range will remain requested
forever, even if the driver is gone. But since that's already been the
case for quite a while, probably something that can be fixed separately.


Right, there was no way to deregister the range previously. From looking at the history here I see no reason to not support it.

As for this patch, as you said, the only difference is that we fault on trying to register the same range again. So this solution seems reasonable.

On another point, for the tegra driver, is it possible to defer earlier in the probe, before these currently irreversible steps are taken?

Thanks very much,
John
