powerpc/eeh: Clean up PE addressing
When support for EEH on PowerNV was added a lot of pseries specific code
was made "generic" and some of the quirks of pseries EEH came along for the
ride. One of the stranger quirks is eeh_pe containing two types of PE
address: pe->addr and pe->config_addr. There reason for this appears to be
historical baggage rather than any real requirements.
On pseries EEH PEs are manipulated using RTAS calls. Each EEH RTAS call
takes a "PE configuration address" as an input which is used to identify
which EEH PE is being manipulated by the call. When initialising the EEH
state for a device the first thing we need to do is determine the
configuration address for the PE which contains the device so we can enable
EEH on that PE. This process is outlined in PAPR which is the modern
(i.e post-2003) FW specification for pseries. However, EEH support was
first described in the pSeries RISC Platform Architecture (RPA) and
although they are mostly compatible EEH is one of the areas where they are
not.
The major difference is that RPA doesn't actually have the concept of a PE.
On RPA systems the EEH RTAS calls are done on a per-device basis using the
same config_addr that would be passed to the RTAS functions to access PCI
config space (e.g. ibm,read-pci-config). The config_addr is not identical
since the function and config register offsets of the config_addr must be
set to zero. EEH operations being done on a per-device basis doesn't make a
whole lot of sense when you consider how EEH was implemented on legacy PCI
systems.
For legacy PCI(-X) systems EEH was implemented using special PCI-PCI
bridges which contained logic to detect errors and freeze the secondary
bus when one occurred. This means that the EEH enabled state is shared
among all devices behind that EEH bridge. As a result there's no way to
implement the per-device control required for the semantics specified by
RPA. It can be made to work if we assume that a separate EEH bridge exists
for each EEH capable PCI slot and there are no bridges behind those slots.
However, RPA also specifies the ibm,configure-bridge RTAS call for
re-initalising bridges behind EEH capable slots after they are reset due
to an EEH event so that is probably not a valid assumption. This
incoherence was fixed in later PAPR, which succeeded RPA. Unfortunately,
since Linux EEH support seems to have been implemented based on the RPA
spec some of the legacy assumptions were carried over (probably for POWER4
compatibility).
The fix made in PAPR was the introduction of the "PE" concept and
redefining the EEH RTAS calls (set-eeh-option, reset-slot, etc) to operate
on a per-PE basis so all devices behind an EEH bride would share the same
EEH state. The "config_addr" argument to the EEH RTAS calls became the
"PE_config_addr" and the OS was required to use the
ibm,get-config-addr-info RTAS call to find the correct PE address for the
device. When support for the new interfaces was added to Linux it was
implemented using something like:
At probe time:
pdn->eeh_config_addr = rtas_config_addr(pdn);
pdn->eeh_pe_config_addr = rtas_get_config_addr_info(pdn);
When performing an RTAS call:
config_addr = pdn->eeh_config_addr;
if (pdn->eeh_pe_config_addr)
config_addr = pdn->eeh_pe_config_addr;
rtas_call(..., config_addr, ...);
In other words, if the ibm,get-config-addr-info RTAS call is implemented
and returned a valid result we'd use that as the argument to the EEH
RTAS calls. If not, Linux would fall back to using the device's
config_addr. Over time these addresses have moved around going from pci_dn
to eeh_dev and finally into eeh_pe. Today the users look like this:
config_addr = pe->config_addr;
if (pe->addr)
config_addr = pe->addr;
rtas_call(..., config_addr, ...);
However, considering the EEH core always operates on a per-PE basis and
even on pseries the only per-device operation is the initial call to
ibm,set-eeh-option I'm not sure if any of this actually works on an RPA
system today. It doesn't make much sense to have the fallback address in
a generic structure either since the bulk of the code which reference it
is in pseries anyway.
The EEH core makes a token effort to support looking up a PE using the
config_addr by having two arguments to eeh_pe_get(). However, a survey of
all the callers to eeh_pe_get() shows that all bar one have the config_addr
argument hard-coded to zero.The only caller that doesn't is in
eeh_pe_tree_insert() which has:
if (!eeh_has_flag(EEH_VALID_PE_ZERO) && !edev->pe_config_addr)
return -EINVAL;
pe = eeh_pe_get(hose, edev->pe_config_addr, edev->bdfn);
The third argument (config_addr) is only used if the second (pe->addr)
argument is invalid. The preceding check ensures that the call to
eeh_pe_get() will never happen if edev->pe_config_addr is invalid so there
is no situation where eeh_pe_get() will search for a PE based on the 3rd
argument. The check also means that we'll never insert a PE into the tree
where pe_config_addr is zero since EEH_VALID_PE_ZERO is never set on
pseries. All the users of the fallback address on pseries never actually
use the fallback and all the only caller that supplies something for the
config_addr argument to eeh_pe_get() never use it either. It's all dead
code.
This patch removes the fallback address from eeh_pe since nothing uses it.
Specificly, we do this by:
1) Removing pe->config_addr
2) Removing the EEH_VALID_PE_ZERO flag
3) Removing the fallback address argument to eeh_pe_get().
4) Removing all the checks for pe->addr being zero in the pseries EEH code.
This leaves us with PE's only being identified by what's in their pe->addr
field and the EEH core relying on the platform to ensure that eeh_dev's are
only inserted into the EEH tree if they're actually inside a PE.
No functional changes, I hope.
