[PATCH v3] PCI: add kernel parameter to override devid<->driver mapping.

From: Marcel Apfelbaum
Date: Tue Oct 07 2014 - 10:49:41 EST


Scanning a lot of devices during boot requires a lot of time.
On other scenarios there is a need to bind a driver to a specific slot.

Binding devices to pci-stub driver does not work,
as it will not differentiate between devices of the
same type. Using some start scripts is error prone.

The solution leverages driver_override functionality introduced by

commit: 782a985d7af26db39e86070d28f987cad21313c0

PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override

In order to bind PCI slots to specific drivers use:
pci=driver[xxxx:xx:xx.x]=foo,driver[xxxx:xx:xx.x]=bar,...

v2 -> v3:
- Corrected subject line
v1 -> v2:
- Addressed Michael S. Tsirkin comments
- Removed 32 slots limitation
- Better handling of memory allocation failures
(preferred BUG_ON over error messages)
- Addressed Alex Williamson's comments:
- Modified commit message to show parameter usage more clear.
- I preferred to re-use parse_args instead of manually using
strstr in order to better comply with command line parsing
rules.
- I didn't use any locking when parsing the command line args
(see parse_done usage) assuming that first call will be
early in system boot and no race can occur. Please correct
me if I am wrong.

Notes:
- I have further ideas on top of this patch based on your reviews.
I thought of:
- Use wildcards to specify entire buses/devices, something like:
driver[0001:02:*.*]=pci-stub
- Use comma to separate several devices:
driver[0001:02:03.4,0001:02:04.0,...]=pci-stub
- Make domain optional:
driver[00:03.0]=pci-stub

Comments will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Marcel
