OK, so the issue was new because I hadn't tried using a PCIe switch
before, and you have already queued the fix to make the ASPM code deal
with that.

So I think it /would/ be better for the other drivers to not bother
mocking up the root port, and simply expose the downstream device as
B/D/F 0/0/0 (assuming the bus range starts at 0).

It really looks like Altera, Aardvark, Sigma, etc are all in the same
boat here, and need to
a) filter type 0 config TLPs to avoid the downstream device to appear
32 times, and
b) mangle config space accesses to the 'root port' to hide BARs that
have different meanings in this context (the size of the inbound
window), in order to prevent the PCI resource allocation routines to
waste huge amounts of BAR space on them.

This is rather difficult to factor out, I'm afraid:

static bool altera_pcie_valid_device(struct altera_pcie *pcie,
                                     struct pci_bus *bus, int dev)

static int dw_pcie_valid_device(struct pcie_port *pp, struct pci_bus *bus,
                                int dev)

static int rockchip_pcie_valid_device(struct rockchip_pcie *rockchip,
                                      struct pci_bus *bus, int dev)

They all use different struct types to describe the RC, and the fact
that they model a root port means the type0 TLP filter should be
applied to bus 1 not bus 0.
So I agree there is some similarity between these, but not as much
with the driver I am proposing.

I think only hisi_pcie_rd_conf() comes close to what I need to do in
this driver, and this is not surprising given that it uses Synopsys IP
as well. I would like to replace that entirely with this driver at
some point, but for now I'd like to proceed with Marvell Armada 8k and
Socionext Synquacer only, given that those are the only ones I can
actually test myself.


So what I will do is respin the patch as an extension to
pci-host-generic, so we'll have something to poke at, and perhaps you
could give some more detailed guidance as to how to refactor these
existing routines.

Thanks,
Ard.
