PCI-Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge -> 1e:00.0 PCI bridge: ASPEED Technology, Inc. AST1150 PCI-to-PCI Bridge
While setting up ASP device SID in IORT dirver:
iort_iommu_configure() -> pci_for_each_dma_alias()
we need to walk up and iterate over each device which alias transaction from
downstream devices.

AST device (1f:00.0) gets BDF=0x1f00 and corresponding SID=0x1f00 from IORT.
Bridge (1e:00.0) is the first alias. Following PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge
spec: PCIe-to-PCI/X bridges alias transactions from downstream devices using
the subordinate bus number. For bridge (1e:00.0), the subordinate is equal
to 0x1f. This gives BDF=0x1f00 and SID=1f00 which is the same as downstream
device. So it is possible to have two identical SIDs. The question is what we
should do about such case. Presented patch prevents from registering the same
ID so that SMMUv3 is not complaining later on.

Ooh, subtle :( There is logic in arm_smmu_attach_device() to tolerate
grouped devices aliasing to the same ID, but I guess I overlooked the
distinction of a device sharing an alias ID with itself. I'm not sure
I really like trying to work around this in generic code, since
fwspec->ids is essentially opaque data in a driver-specific format - in
theory a driver is free to encode a single logical ID into multiple
fwspec elements (I think I did that in an early draft of SMMUv2 SMR
support), at which point this approach might corrupt things massively.

I don't have strong favourite here, the fix in SMMUv3 driver would work too. Initially we can fix things for SMMUv3 only and if ever face the same issue for other IOMMU driver, then we can move it to generic layer.


Does the (untested) diff below suffice?

Robin.
