[PATCH v2] PCI: Speed up device init by parsing capabilities all at once

From: Vikash Bansal
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 23:51:55 EST


In the current implementation, the PCI capability list is parsed from
the beginning to find each capability, which results in a large number
of redundant PCI reads.

Instead, we can parse the complete list just once, store it in the
pci_dev structure, and get the offset of each capability directly from
the pci_dev structure.

This implementation improves pci devices initialization time by ~2-3%
(from 270ms to 261ms) in case of bare metal and 7-8% (From 201ms to 184ms)
in case of VM running on ESXi.

It also adds a memory overhead of 20bytes (value of PCI_CAP_ID_MAX) per
PCI device.

Ran pahole for pci_dev structure. This patch is not adding any padding
bytes.

Changes in v2:
- Ran pahole tool.
- Modified comments to add "clock time".
- Removed comments before call to pci_find_all_capabilities.
