When an RCEC device signals error(s) to a CPU core, the CPU core
needs to walk all the RCiEPs associated with that RCEC to check
errors. So add the function pcie_walk_rcec() to walk all RCiEPs
associated with the RCEC device.

Wow, this is a lot of churning to call pci_get_slot() 256 times per bus for the "associated bus numbers" case where we pass a bitmap of 0xffffffff. They didn't really make it easy for software when they
added the next/last bus number thing.

Just thinking out loud here. What if we could set dev->rcec during
enumeration, and then use that to build pcie_walk_rcec()?

I think follow what you are doing.

As we enumerate an RCEC, use the time to discover RCiEPs and
associate
each RCiEP's dev->rcec. Although BIOS already set the bitmap for
this
specific RCEC, it's more efficient to simply discover the devices
through the bus walk and verify each one found against the bitmap.

Further, while we can be certain that an RCiEP found with a matching device no. in a bitmap for an associated RCEC is correct, we cannot
be
certain that any RCiEP found on another bus range is correct unless
we
verify the bus is within that next/last bus range.

Finally, that's where find_rcec() callback for rcec_assoc_rciep()
does
double duty by also checking on the "on-a-separate-bus" case
captured
potentially by find_rcec() during an RCiEP's bus walk.


  bool rcec_assoc_rciep(rcec, rciep)
  {
    if (rcec->bus == rciep->bus)
      return (rcec->bitmap contains rciep->devfn);

    return (rcec->next/last contains rciep->bus);
  }

  link_rcec(dev, data)
  {
    struct pci_dev *rcec = data;

    if ((dev is RCiEP) && rcec_assoc_rciep(rcec, dev))
      dev->rcec = rcec;
  }

  find_rcec(dev, data)
  {
    struct pci_dev *rciep = data;

    if ((dev is RCEC) && rcec_assoc_rciep(dev, rciep))
      rciep->rcec = dev;
  }

  pci_setup_device
    ...

I just noticed your use of pci_setup_device(). Are you suggesting
moving the call to pci_rcec_init() out of pci_init_capabilities() and move it into pci_setup_device()? If so, would pci_rcec_exit() still
remain in pci_release_capabilities()?

I'm just wondering if it could just remain in
pci_init_capabilities().

Yeah, I didn't mean in pci_setup_device() specifically, just somewhere in the callchain of pci_setup_device(). But you're right, it probably would make more sense in pci_init_capabilities(), so I *should* have
said pci_scan_single_device() to be a little less specific.

I’ve done some experimenting with this approach, and I think there may be a
problem of just walking the busses during enumeration
pci_init_capabilities(). One problem is where one has an RCEC on a root bus: 6a(00.4) and an RCiEP on another root bus: 6b(00.0). They will never find each other in this approach through a normal pci_bus_walk() call using their
respective root_bus.

 +-[0000:6b]-+-00.0
 |           +-00.1
 |           +-00.2
 |           \-00.3
 +-[0000:6a]-+-00.0
 |           +-00.1
 |           +-00.2
 |           \-00.4

Wow, is that even allowed?

There's no bridge from 0000:6a to 0000:6b, so we will not scan 0000:6b
unless we find a host bridge with _CRS where 6b is the first bus
number below the bridge.  I think that means this would have to be
described in ACPI as two separate root bridges:

  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 6a])
  ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI1] (domain 0000 [bus 6b])

Otherwise, the RCEC Associated Endpoint Extended Capabilities would have to have explicitly mentioned a bridge?


I *guess* maybe it's allowed by the PCIe spec to have an RCEC and
associated RCiEPs on separate root buses?  It seems awfully strange
and not in character for PCIe, but I guess I can't point to language
that prohibits it.

Yes, it should be possible.


While having a lot of slot calls per bus is unfortunate, unless I’m mistaken you would have to walk every peer root_bus with your RCiEP in this example
until you hit on the right RCEC, unless of course you have a bitmap
associated RCEC on dev->bus.

I really despise pci_find_bus(), pci_get_slot(), and related
functions, but maybe they can't be avoided.

I briefly hoped we could forget about connecting them at
enumeration-time and just build a list of RCECs in the host bridge.
Then when we handle an event for an RCiEP, we could search the list to
find the right RCEC (and potentially cache it then).  But I don't
think that would work either, because in the example above, they will
be under different host bridges. I guess we could maybe have a global
(or maybe per-domain) list of RCECs.

Right, we could just have a list and only need to search the list when we need to handle an event.


Conversely, if you are enumerating the above RCEC at 6a(00.4) and you attempt to link_rcec() through calls to pci_walk_bus(), the walk will still be limited to 6a and below; never encountering 6b(00.0). So you would then need an additional walk for each of the associated bus ranges, excluding the
same bus as the RCEC.

pci_init_capabilities()
…
pci_init_rcec() // Cached

if (RCEC)
 Walk the dev->bus for bitmap associated RCiEP
 Walk all associated bus ranges for RCiEP

else if (RCiEP)
 Walk the dev->bus for bitmap associated RCEC
Walk all peer root_bus for RCEC, confirm if own dev->bus falls within
discovered RCEC associated ranges

The other problem here is temporal. I’m wondering if we may be trying to find associated devices at the pci_init_capabilities() stage prior to them being fully enumerated, i.e., RCEC has not been cached but we are searching with a future associated RCiEP. So one could encounter a race condition
where one is checking on an RCiEP whose associated RCEC has not been
enumerated yet.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this problem, but I think my idea would
handle this: If we find the RCEC first, we cache its info and do
nothing else.  When we subsequently discover an RCiEP, we walk the
tree, find the RCEC, and connect them.

If we find an RCiEP first, we do nothing.  When we subsequently
discover an RCEC, we walk the tree, find any associated RCiEPs, and
connect them.


Your approach makes sense. In retrospect, I don’t think there can be a race condition here because of the fallback from one RCEC to the other when they enumerate. You have two chances of finding the relationship.


The discovery can happen in different orders based on the
bus/device/function numbers, but it's not really a race because
enumeration is single-threaded.  But if we're talking about two
separate host bridges (PNP0A03 devices), we *should* allow them to be
enumerated in parallel, even though we don't do that today.

I think this RCEC association design is really kind of problematic.

We don't really *need* the association until some RCiEP event (PME,
error, etc) occurs, so it's reasonable to defer making the RCEC
connection until then. But it seems like things should be designed so
we're guaranteed to enumerate the RCEC before the RCiEPs.  Otherwise,
we don't really know when we can enable RCiEP events.  If we discover
an RCiEP first, enable error reporting, and an error occurs before we
find the RCEC, we're in a bit of a pickle.

So we could have a global list (RCiEP or RCEC) in which we wait to identify the associations only when we need to respond to events. Or in your original suggestion we could walk the RCEC bus ranges in addition to its root_bus.

i.e., We bus walk an enumerating RCEC with link_rcec() callback for not only the root_bus but each bus number in the associated ranges if the extended cap exists.

RCiEPs will simply continue to invoke their callback via find_rcec() and only check on their own bus for the encountered RCEC’s associated bitmap case.

Walking the bus with an RCEC as it is probed in the portdrv_pci.c can be done with both its own bus (bitmap) and with supported associated bus ranges. In that walk I’m able to find all the associated endpoints via both bitmap on own bus and the bus ranges. No pci_get_slot() is needed as per your original suggestion.

The suggsted approach to the rcec_helper() seems to imply that we either walk it again or have cached all the associated RCiEP. When we do the walk above, we are merely, finding the RCiEPs and linking them to the RCEC’s structure. There is no caching done of a list of RCiEPs per RCEC.

i.e., in aer.c : set_downstream_devices_error_reporting() wants to enable each associated RCiEP via pcie_walk_rcec().

Looking into changes to the pice_walk_rcec()

So let’s say one throws out RCiEP entirely and just relies upon RCEC to find
the associations because one knows that an encountered RCEC (in
pci_init_capabilities()) has already been cached. In that case you end up with the original implementation being done with this patch series…

if (RCEC)
 Walk the dev->bus for bitmap associated RCiEP
 Walk all associated bus ranges for RCiEP

Perhaps I’ve muddled some things here but it doesn’t look like the twain will meet unless I cover multiple peer root_bus and even then you may have an issue because the devices don’t yet fully exist from the perspective of
the OS.

Thanks,

Sean
