Greg,

First, let me thank you for your prompt replies!

Introduces the x86 arch-specific routine that will determine whether
a device responds correctly to MMCONFIG accesses. This routine is
given the generic name pcibios_fix_bus_scan_quirk()
The comment at the top of the routine explains its logic.

Why define these if they are only used in one place?

If you object, I will be happy to move them into the routine body
without the defines. I agree that It does look inconsistent to have
these strings defined and other strings embedded in the routine body.


Also, as you use dev_info(), I think you are duplicating some of the
information in the resulting printk(), right?

Actually, no. The strings do not contain redundant info. The pr_info
routine is just a macro for printk(KERN_INFO ...)

+void __devinit pcibios_fix_bus_scan_quirk(struct pci_bus *bus)
+{
+ int devfn;
+ int fail;
+ int found_nommconf_dev = 0;
+ static int advised;

+ u32 arch_vendev;
+ struct pci_ops *save_ops = bus->ops;

+ if (bus->parent != NULL)
+ if (bus->parent->ops == &pci_legacy_ops)
+ return;
+
+ if (!advised) {
+ pr_info("PCI: If a device isn't working, try \"pci=nommconf\". "
+ "If that helps, please post a report.\n");

Post a report where? Who is going to handle these reports?

The last time someone put a line like this in the kernel, I got a ton of
email and didn't know what to do with it. If you really are trusting of
this patch, please put your email address in this printk(), so that you
can properly handle the resulting reports. I sure don't want to :)

Hmmm! Good point! I was actually copying that other message. I will
remove the string that advises posting a report. I sure don't want 'em,
and I can see that you don't, either.
:)


+ advised = 1;
+ }
+ pr_debug("PCI: Checking bus %04x:%02x for MMCONFIG compliance.\n",
+ pci_domain_nr(bus), bus->number);
+
+ for (devfn = 0; devfn < 256; devfn++) {
+ bus->ops = &pci_legacy_ops;
+ fail = (pci_bus_read_config_dword(bus, devfn, PCI_VENDOR_ID,
+ &arch_vendev));

What's with the extra () around the function?

The function call used to be contained in an if statement.
I changed the logic, but forgot to remove the extra parens.
It's tough getting old.

+ continue;
+
+ bus->ops = save_ops; /* Restore to original value */
+ pci_bus_read_config_dword(bus, devfn, PCI_VENDOR_ID,
+ &mcfg_vendev);
+ if (mcfg_vendev != arch_vendev) {
+ found_nommconf_dev = 1;
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+
+ if (found_nommconf_dev) {
+ pr_info(CHECK_MMCFG_STR_1, pci_domain_nr(bus), bus->number,
+ PCI_SLOT(devfn), PCI_FUNC(devfn));
+ pr_info(CHECK_MMCFG_STR_2, pci_domain_nr(bus), bus->number);
+ bus->ops = &pci_legacy_ops; /* Use Legace PCI Config */

Spelling check for your comments :)

thanks,

Oops Legace ... too much language confusion in my life ... portugues ...
italian ... oi ...
