Current arm/arm64 code prevents enabling resources in the respective
pcibios_enable_device() callbacks if the PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag is set,
in that on those platforms the resources tree was not validated properly
since PCI resources are not currently claimed on arm/arm64 PCI_PROBE_ONLY
systems.
This is a temporary kludge, in that PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag is used to
describe systems with fixed resources, that can nonetheless be enabled
through the standard pci_enable_resources() call present in PCI core code,
(ie via the generic pcibios_enable_device() call).
To remove the PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag in arm/arm64 pcibios_enable_device()
callbacks, the PCI host controllers that can be used with
PCI_PROBE_ONLY configurations must make sure that devices resources are
validated and inserted in the kernel resource tree even on PCI_PROBE_ONLY
systems so that the generic pcibios_enable_device() generic code, while
enabling resources (pci_enable_resources()), does not find dangling
resources pointers (ie missing parent pointers) that are omens of
an incomplete resource tree, causing failures in resources enablement.
PCI core code provides interfaces to assign/reassign/reallocate PCI
bus resources but it is currently lacking an interface to claim
resources for a specific bus. Arches implement resources claiming through
ad-hoc code built on top of pci_claim_resource() API, but that code
cannot be leveraged on architectures like arm/arm64 that rely on the
generic PCI infrastructure to carry out resources claiming/assignment.
Therefore, to clean up the arm/arm64 resources enablement on
PCI_PROBE_ONLY systems this patchset implements four patches:
PATCH 1: Create PCI core code infrastructure to claim bus resources
PATCH 2: Leverage the infrastructure in PATCH 1 to claim resources in
the PCI generic host controller on PCI_PROBE_ONLY systems
PATCH 3: Remove the PCI_PROBE_ONLY kludge from the arm64 PCI back-end to
complete the clean-up and leverage the PCI generic
pcibios_enable_device() implementation
PATCH 4: Remove the PCI_PROBE_ONLY kludge from the arm PCI back-end to
complete the clean-up and leverage the PCI generic
pcibios_enable_device() implementation
Tested on arm/arm64 systems with kvmtool and PCI host generic.
v2 -> v3
- Split patch 3 in two patches so that arm and arm64 are handled
in different patches

v1 -> v2
- Rewrote patch 1 to recursively claim resources for the whole PCI bus
hierarchy
- Updated commits logs/tags
