Add a check to mvebu_pcie_add_windows() to detect, if an MBus window is
already configured. If this is the case (base address, size, target and
attribute are identical), then this window is not created. This fixes
a problem I'm currently seeing on a custom Armada XP based board, which
generates this error upon PCI rescanning (in this case via sysfs):

$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
mvebu_mbus: cannot add window '4:e8', conflicts with another window
mvebu-pcie soc:pcie-controller: Could not create MBus window at [mem 0x9e000000-0x9e0fffff]: -22

Thanks for the patch. I am not familiar with what happens during a PCI
rescan, but shouldn't the MBus windows be deleted and then re-added?

The pci-mvebu driver deletes the MBus windows for a given PCI device
when invalid memory base/limits are set in the emulated PCI bridge.
Shouldn't this happen over a rescan?

If it doesn't, then the other question is whether the check you're
adding should be done in the PCI driver or in the MBus driver.

In commit b566e782be32145664d96ada3e389f17d32742e5, we already relaxed
the checks done by the MBus driver, and since this commit we allow
different windows to have the same target/attribute.

Should the MBus driver also allow re-creating a	window that
already exists, if all its properties are the same?

Note that I am not asking you to rework your patch in this direction
for the moment, I'm only opening the question. I haven't made up my
mind yet on which solution is the most correct one.

Thanks!

It does not happen in this rescan case.

I'm not sure what *should* happen upon rescan. But testing shows, that
no MBus window is removed upon rescan. I just tested what happens,
if the PCI devices are "removed" via sysfs. And this also does not
delete any of the MBus windows.

This sounds like a good idea to me. To move this detection / decision
one layer up. So that it will work for other drivers using this
MBus interface as well.

Understood. Thanks for your comments. Just let me know, if you want
me to rework this patch to move this check into the MBus driver
instead. And I will try to come up with such a patch shortly.

Thanks,
Stefan

Then maybe that's a question for the PCI folks. Is it normal that when
a PCI device gets removed, the configuration of the PCI bridge does not
get adjusted accordingly?

Thanks,

I'm not sure I completely understand the question.

When a PCI device is removed, I don't think we touch any upstream
devices.  The device is gone; there's no reason to change any bridge
windows leading to it.

When we rescan, we should try to assign resources to BARs of any new
devices we find.  Theoretically that could involve configuring windows
of upstream bridges, but I don't think we actually do that, because
we'd have to be careful not to break any active devices, and I don't
think we're smart enough for that.

I don't know how you want to solve it, but it definitely should be
safe to write the bridge window registers multiple times, either with
the same values, a new invalid base/limit pair, or a new valid
base/limit pair.

A complete emulation should handle all those, including disposing of
an old valid window and replacing it with a new, different, valid
window.

And of course, it should handle individual 16-bit writes for the
base/limit of the 32-bit windows.

So this patch under discussion allows the re-creation of the identical
MBus window (a Marvell special internal bus). Which is a result of a
PCI re-scan with unchanged PCIe devices.

For a "complete emulation" as mentioned above, we would need to
remove all MBus windows matching the target and attribute for this
PCIe port and lane. This is usually one window - I can't currently
think of a situation with multiple MBus windows with the same
properties here.

Thomas, should I go this way and rework this patch to first remove
the MBus window(s) and then create the new one? Or what is your
preferred solution here?

Thanks,
Stefan
