Subject: Revert "PCI: Don't scan random busses in pci_scan_bridge()"
From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7a0b33d4a45d30b9a838fba4efcd80b7b57d4d16 upstream.
This reverts commit fc1b253141b3 ("PCI: Don't scan random busses in
pci_scan_bridge()") because it breaks CardBus on some machines.
David tested a Dell Latitude D505 that worked like this prior to
fc1b253141b3:
pci 0000:00:1e.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01]
pci 0000:01:01.0: CardBus bridge to [bus 02-05]
Note that the 01:01.0 CardBus bridge has a bus number aperture of
[bus 02-05], but those buses are all outside the 00:1e.0 PCI bridge bus
number aperture, so accesses to buses 02-05 never reach CardBus. This is
later patched up by yenta_fixup_parent_bridge(), which changes the
subordinate bus number of the 00:1e.0 PCI bridge:
pci_bus 0000:01: Raising subordinate bus# of parent bus (#01) from #01 to #05
With fc1b253141b3, pci_scan_bridge() fails immediately when it notices that
we can't allocate a valid secondary bus number for the CardBus bridge, and
CardBus doesn't work at all:
pci 0000:01:01.0: can't allocate child bus 01 from [bus 01]
I'd prefer to fix this by integrating the yenta_fixup_parent_bridge() logic
into pci_scan_bridge() so we fix the bus number apertures up front. But
I don't think we can do that before v3.17, so I'm going to revert this to
avoid the problem while we're working on the long-term fix.
