[PATCH v8 00/10] vgaarb: Rework default VGA device selection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>

Current default VGA device selection fails in some cases because part of it
is done in the vga_arb_device_init() subsys_initcall, and some arches
enumerate PCI devices in pcibios_init(), which runs *after* that.

For example:

  - On BMC system, the AST2500 bridge [1a03:1150] does not implement
    PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA.  This is perfectly legal but means the legacy VGA
    resources won't reach downstream devices unless they're included in the
    usual bridge windows.

  - vga_arb_select_default_device() will set a device below such a bridge
    as the default VGA device as long as it has PCI_COMMAND_IO and
    PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY enabled.

  - vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() is called for every VGA device, either at
    boot-time or at hot-add time, and it will also set the device as the
    default VGA device, but ONLY if all bridges leading to it implement
    PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA.

  - This difference between vga_arb_select_default_device() and
    vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() means that a device below an AST2500 or
    similar bridge can only be set as the default if it is enumerated
    before vga_arb_device_init().

  - On ACPI-based systems, PCI devices are enumerated by acpi_init(), which
    runs before vga_arb_device_init().

  - On non-ACPI systems, like on MIPS system, they are enumerated by
    pcibios_init(), which typically runs *after* vga_arb_device_init().

This series consolidates all the default VGA device selection in
vga_arbiter_add_pci_device(), which is always called after enumerating a
PCI device.

Almost all the work here is Huacai's.  I restructured it a little bit and
added a few trivial patches on top.

I'd like to move vgaarb.c to drivers/pci eventually, but there's another
initcall ordering snag that needs to be resolved first, so this leaves 
it where it is.
