I recently sent out a number of patches to migrate drivers calling
`pci_find_capability(pdef, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP)` to pci_pcie_cap. This
function takes uses a PCI-E capability offset that was determined by
calling pci_find_capability during the PCI bus walking. In response
to one of the patches, James Smart posted:
"The reason is due to an issue on PPC platforms whereby use of
"pdev->is_pcie" and pci_is_pcie() will erroneously fail under some
conditions, but explicit search for the capability struct via
pci_find_capability() is always successful. I expect this to be due
a shadowing of pci config space in the hal/platform that isn't
sufficiently built up. We detected this issue while testing AER/EEH,
and are functional only if the pci_find_capability() option is used."
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=130946649427828&w=2 for the whole post.
Based on his description above pci_pcie_cap
andpci_find_capability(pdef, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP) should be functionally
equivalent. If this is not safe, then the PCI bus walking code is
most likely busted on EEH enabled PPC systems (and that is a BIG
problem). Can anyone confirm this is still an issue?
Jon,
I applied the following debug patch to lpfc driver in a 2.6.32 distro
kernel ( I had this one handy, I can try with mainline later today )

This is output upon driver load on an IBM Power 7 model 8233-E8B server.

It would appear that the pcie information is not set in pci_dev structure for
this device at the time the driver is being initialized during boot.
