[PATCH v11 1/9] PCI: Allow per function PCI slots

From: Farhan Ali

Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 15:16:32 EST


On s390 systems, which use a machine level hypervisor, PCI devices are
always accessed through a form of PCI pass-through which fundamentally
operates on a per PCI function granularity. This is also reflected in the
s390 PCI hotplug driver which creates hotplug slots for individual PCI
functions. Its reset_slot() function, which is a wrapper for
zpci_hot_reset_device(), thus also resets individual functions.

Currently, the kernel's PCI_SLOT() macro assigns the same pci_slot object
to multifunction devices. This approach worked fine on s390 systems that
only exposed virtual functions as individual PCI domains to the operating
system. Since commit 44510d6fa0c0 ("s390/pci: Handling multifunctions")
s390 supports exposing the topology of multifunction PCI devices by
grouping them in a shared PCI domain. When attempting to reset a function
through the hotplug driver, the shared slot assignment causes the wrong
function to be reset instead of the intended one. It also leaks memory as
we do create a pci_slot object for the function, but don't correctly free
it in pci_slot_release().

Add a flag for struct pci_slot to allow per function PCI slots for
functions managed through a hypervisor, which exposes individual PCI
functions while retaining the topology. Since we can use all 8 bits
for slot 'number' (for ARI devices), change slot 'number' u16 to
account for special values -1 and PCI_SLOT_ALL_DEVICES.
