[v2,00/13] PCI: dwc: Various fixes and cleanups

Message

Serge Semin May 3, 2022, 9:22 p.m. UTC

This patchset is a second one in the series created in the framework of
my Baikal-T1 PCIe/eDMA-related work:

[1: In-progress v3] clk: Baikal-T1 DDR/PCIe resets and some xGMAC fixes
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[e-mail]/
[2: In-progress v2] PCI: dwc: Various fixes and cleanups
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[e-mail]/
[3: In-progress v1] PCI: dwc: Add dma-ranges/YAML-schema/Baikal-T1 support
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[e-mail]/
[4: In-progress v1] dmaengine: dw-edma: Add RP/EP local DMA controllers support
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[e-mail]/

Note it is very recommended to merge the patchsets in the same order as
they are placed in the list above in order to prevent possible merge/build
conflicts. Nothing prevents them from being reviewed synchronously though.

As it can be easily inferred from the patchset title, this series is about
the DW PCIe Root Port/End-point driver fixes and the code cleanups, where
fixes come before the cleanup patches. The patchset starts with adding the
stop_link() platform-specific method invocation in case of the PCIe host
probe procedure errors. It has been missing in the cleanup-on-error path
of the DW PCIe Host initialization method. After that there is a patch
which fixes the host own cfg-space accessors for the case of the
platform-specific DBI implementation. Third the unrolled CSRs layout is
added to the iATU disable procedure. Fourth the disable iATU procedure is
fixed to be called only for the internal ATU as being specific for the
internal ATU implementation. Last but no least the outbound iATU extended
region setup procedure is fixed to have the INCREASE_REGION_SIZE flag set
based on the limit-address - not the region size one.

Afterwards there is a series of cleanups. It concerns the changes like
adding braces to the multi-line if-else constructions, trailing new-lines
to the print format-string, dropping unnecessary version checking, and
various code simplifications and optimizations.

New features like adding two-level DT bindings abstraction, adding better
structured IP-core version interface, adding iATU regions size detection
and the PCIe regions verification procedure, adding dma-ranges support,
introducing a set of generic platform clocks and resets and finally adding
Baikal-T1 PCIe interface support will be submitted in the next part of the
series.

Changelog v2:
- Fix the end address of the example in the patch log with
  the INCREASE_REGION_SIZE flag usage fixup. It should be
  0x1000FFFF and not 0x0000FFFF (@Manivannan).

Hi,

I went through the series and I don't have any specific objections.

We can try to queue it for v5.19, with the caveat that the fixes
_need_ testing on several DWC platforms (and I _strongly_ encourage
DWC maintainers to chime in). To sum it up:

- It is a mixture of clean-ups and fixes. I would prefer having the
  cleanups earlier in the series and rebase (if there is a need, I
  can try to reshuffle the patches myself) the fixes on top. That
  because we may have to drop some of the fixes (and if we merge them
  we may have to revert them as cleanly as we can), my concern is that
  they require testing on a number of platforms you have not been
  exposed to
- Kbot complained about patch (3)
- I will have comments about the commit logs but I can try to fix them
  myself

I have concerns especially about patches (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9), because
they can affect DWC platforms other than the ones you are testing on.

The cleanups we can definitely queue them up. As I said, and there
is nothing I can do about it, I will be off the radar for two months
from wednesday, please try to repost with the Kbot issue fixed and
with the comments above in mind and I will do my best to queue as
many patches from this series as possible for v5.19.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Alas I can't deliver that. But Manivannan has done a testing on his
Qualcomm devices.

Normally fixes patches go before ahead of the rest of the series to
simplify the backporting procedure (makes Greg's life much easier).
Revertability has much less priority. In the worst case an additional
fixes patch is more preferable especially if the original patch has
been reviewed, accepted and most likely backported. Only if the patch
author didn't provide a fix then the reversion is proceeded. So I
wouldn't recommend to reshuffle the patches.

This series and another patchsets have been available for testing for
about two months now. There have been more than enough time to give it
a try and review.

Could you be more specific what it was complaining about? I haven't
got any relevant message in none of my emails.

Feel free to submit your comments. I'll take them into account in v3.

Basically any generic code change affects the dependent platforms. If
you don't see any exact issue in mind then I don't see any reason to
sustain the series any longer especially seeing it has been already
tested on an alternative platform.

As I noted this isn't good since I haven't noticed much activity for
the last two months. Alas Bjorn hasn't participated in the review
process either. I can offer a help with reviewing the patches
concerning the DW PCIe drivers since during the patchsets development
I've got a good notion regarding the DWC drivers and HW internals. But
it only concerns the DW PCIe Host/End-point code.

Fixes need testing. I don't want to merge fixes that break platforms
on which you can't test.

Also, fixes need bug reports and as far as I can see I have not
seen any reported that point at current mainline failures.

See above. We should not have fixes and cleanups in the
same series and I am not taking fixes that can affect other
platforms unless they are tested.

Feel free to ignore what I say, my comments still stand.

Sure. To merge fixes they need to be tested on platforms before
we can accept them and we need bug reports to show they are fixing
something in the first place.

We(I) don't have DWC HW and DWC maintainers are supposed to review DWC
code. We maintain the generic bits in host controller drivers to
make sure they guarantee a uniform behaviour across hosts.

That's what I have to say. If you want your code merged we need
to find a way to get DWC maintainers to test it and provide
review, I agree with you that feedback is lacking and that's
something that has to be solved.

Thanks for your patience.

Every submitted change needs testing, but in most of the cases a
full comprehensive evaluation just can't be delivered. It doesn't mean
the changes can't be accepted especially if they are logically correct,
well justified, tested on several platforms and already reviewed. All
of that has been already done for this and following up patchsets.

I reported that there are issues in the current code implementation.
They are thoroughly described in the patch logs and fixed by the
corresponding patches. But anyway I couldn't find in any kernel doc
that having a bug report is required to post fixes patch. It's like
waiting for kernel to crash/hangup/etc before getting permission to fix
its bugs.

Note, having Fixes tag doesn't mean the patch always need to be merged
in into the stable trees. It just indicates the commit originating the
issue, helps to review the change and if necessary assists the stable
kernel team in determining which stable kernel versions should receive
your fix (Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:555).

Also note I haven't Cc'ed the stable team reviewers so basically the
patches aren't strictly required to be merged into the stable kernels.

see my comment above regarding the requirement you are stating. There
must be some confusion regarding stable kernel patches, having bug
reports and full cross-platform testing. If you suggest to wait while
the series are tested on all the supported platforms we most likely will
never get then merged in.

Thanks. For some reason it was missing in both of my inboxes. Most
likely it was dropped by the corporate spam bot. But I am wondering
how come Kbot just removed my gmail address from Cc...

Anyway the report is reasonable. I'll fix it in v3.

So basically you are maintaining the part for which you don't have
neither hw reference manual nor hw instance, right? This isn't easy
task I'd say. I offered my help twice, but you tend to ignore it. Note
I don't expect that accepting the help means immediately merging my
patches in. They still need to go through the review process.

I would have agreed with you if we didn't have the series tested on
other than mine hardware and haven't had any review comment posted so
far. But the patchset has been available for review for quiet a while.
During that time it was tested on another platform and even got RB
tags from a person having HW instances and reference manuals.

Isn't Manivanna review and tests enough? Isn't me having a bunch of
DWC PCIe hw manuals and testing on at least one DWC PCIe IP-core
instance enough?

If not what do you suggest then? There is no dedicated DWC maintainer
for the generic DWC PCIe bits, the patchset has been hanging out on
review for about two months, and you are going to be away for the next
two months. Waiting for two more months until someone gets to appear
and finds a time to test it out? Really, four months for just 13
patches seems too much.

What I can suggest in this matter is to resend the series today with
all the depended platforms mailing lists in Cc (shall I explicitly add
the maintainers too?). If no serious problem reported until Wednesday
and if I fixed all the reported notes/comments until then, you get to
merge the patchset(s) in. What do think about this?

As I see it this is the main reason of all the arguing above. I think
that there was enough feedback for all the patchsets during the last
two months. You say there wasn't.
