Can initial boot be done the same as hot-add? If we add interfaces like for_each_pci_host_bridge(), people will just copy that for use at run-time. So it would be better to have the same interfaces for use at boot-time and at hot add-time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I have one draft patch that will delay bridge enabling to BUS_ADD for pci bridge... that will need to get that register rather later otherwise that bridge can not be enabled because resources are not reserved/allocated for initial booting path. please refer to the attached patch. you should notice that fs_initcall is used for registration until boot path already have that pci bridges before. +static struct notifier_block pci_hp_nb = { + .notifier_call = &pci_hp_notifier, +}; + +static int __init pci_hp_init(void) +{ + return bus_register_notifier(&pci_bus_type, &pci_hp_nb); +} + +fs_initcall(pci_hp_init); Also using that for_each_pci_host_bridge in run-time is still safe. -Yinghai

Sure, it might be *safe*. But it's not *sufficient*. If you use for_each_pci_host_bridge(), you also need to do something else to deal with hot-added host bridges. It's hard to make sure that every caller does both parts correctly: 1) for_each_pci_host_bridge() for things we've already seen and 2) some sort of notifier for hot-added bridges That's why I'd prefer a single interface. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Your changes only address part 1. More changes will be needed for part 2, and they will look very much like the approach I'm suggesting. I'm frankly dubious about your fears of system_state and __init complexity. PCI enumeration and driver binding already happens late enough that the system is almost completely initialized. But I guess we won't know for sure until we try out both ideas. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

But I guess > we won't know for sure until we try out both ideas. it is all up to the caller to decide it initial path for_ loop is enough, or they still need part 2, or later they could even remove part1 and only keep part2 if the those function can survive the initial boot path. -Yinghai -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
