There are multiple ways to trigger PCI hotplug requests concurrently,
such as:
1. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI core subsystem
2. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI hotplug subsystem
3. PCI hotplug events triggered by PCI Hotplug Controllers
4. ACPI hotplug events for PCI host bridges
5. Driver binding/unbinding events
The PCI core subsystem doesn't support concurrent hotplug operations yet,
so all PCI hotplug requests should be globally serialized. This patchset
introduces a global recursive rwsem to serialize all PCI hotplug operations.
Following PCI hotplug drivers/interfaces have been enhanced with this
1. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI core subsystem
2. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI hotplug subsystem
3. pciehp
4. shpchp
5. cpcihp_generic and cpcihp_zt5550
6. fakephp
But there are still several TODOs:
1) all other PCI hotplug driver in drivers/pci/hotplug directory
2) SR-IOV
3) acpiphp (plan to do this based on Yinghai's PCI root bus hotplug gate)
4) pci_root (plan to do this based on Yinghai's PCI root bus hotplug gate)
Basic test has been done as below, will find more hardwares to do more tests.
Start three scripts on an Intel Atom system to currently execute:
1) remove/rescan PCI devices by sysfs interfaces exported by PCI core subsystem
2) remove/rescan PCI devices by sysfs interfaces exported by fakephp driver
3) load/unload fakephp driver
The test has run about four hours without failure.
