Linus's detailed comment above pci_iounmap() in drivers/pci/iomap.c
clarifies that in a far better way.

Extend the existing comment with an excerpt from Linus's and hint at the
other implementation in drivers/pci/iomap.c

I think instead of explaining why the code is so complicated
here, I'd prefer to make it more logical and not have to
explain it.

We should be able to define a generic version like

void pci_iounmap(struct pci_dev *dev, void __iomem * addr)

Let's shed some light on the different config options related to this.

To me it looks like GENERIC_IOMAP always implies GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP.

lib/iomap.c contains a definition of pci_iounmap() since it uses the
common IO_COND() macro. This definitions wins if GENERIC_IOMAP was
selected.

lib/pci_iomap.c contains another definition of pci_iounmap() which is
guarded by ARCH_WANTS_GENERIC_PCI_IOUNMAP to prevent multiple definitions
in case either GENERIC_IOMAP is set or the architecture already defined
pci_iounmap().

What's the purpose of not having set ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_IOPORT_MAP producing
an empty definition of pci_iounmap() though [1]?

And more generally, is there any other (subtle) logic behind this?

[1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/lib/pci_iomap.c#L167

{
#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT
        if (iomem_is_ioport(addr)) {
               ioport_unmap(addr);
               return;
        }
#endif
       iounmap(addr)
}

and then define iomem_is_ioport() in lib/iomap.c for x86,
while defining it in asm-generic/io.h for the rest,
with an override in asm/io.h for those architectures
that need a custom inb().

So, that would be similar to IO_COND(), right? What would we need inb() for
in this context?

Note that with ia64 gone, GENERIC_IOMAP is not at all
generic any more and could just move it to x86 or name
it something else. This is what currently uses it:

arch/hexagon/Kconfig:   select GENERIC_IOMAP
arch/um/Kconfig:        select GENERIC_IOMAP

These have no port I/O at all, so it doesn't do anything.

arch/m68k/Kconfig:      select GENERIC_IOMAP

on m68knommu, the default implementation from asm-generic/io.h
as the same effect as GENERIC_IOMAP but is more efficient.
On classic m68k, GENERIC_IOMAP does not do what it is
meant to because I/O ports on ISA devices have port
numbers above PIO_OFFSET. Also they don't have PCI.

arch/mips/Kconfig:      select GENERIC_IOMAP

This looks completely bogus because it sets PIO_RESERVED
to 0 and always uses the mmio part of lib/iomap.c.

arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig: select GENERIC_IOMAP

This is only used for two platforms: cell and powernv,
though on Cell it no longer does anything after the
commit f4981a00636 ("powerpc: Remove the celleb support");
I think the entire io_workarounds code now be folded
back into spider_pci.c if we wanted to.

The PowerNV LPC support does seem to still rely on it.
This tries to do the exact same thing as lib/logic_pio.c
for Huawei arm64 servers. I suspect that neither of them
does it entirely correctly since the powerpc side appears
to just override any non-LPC PIO support while the arm64
side is missing the ioread/iowrite support.
