Subject: amd64-agp conflicts with sis-agp
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:17:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269105436.18314.81.camel@localhost> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1034 bytes --]
This code in agp_amd64_init() can optionally bind to devices
generically, and it does this without going through the device core:
/* Look for any AGP bridge */
dev = NULL;
err = -ENODEV;
for_each_pci_dev(dev) {
if (!pci_find_capability(dev, PCI_CAP_ID_AGP))
continue;
/* Only one bridge supported right now */
if (agp_amd64_probe(dev, NULL) == 0) {
err = 0;
break;
}
}
This is causing crashes on some systems where sis-agp is already bound
to the device. It could even race with binding of another driver when
they are both built-in. I think it should be using something like the
following instead of directly calling agp_amd64_probe():
down(&dev->dev.sem);
if (!dev->dev.driver &&
driver_probe_device(&drv->driver, &dev->dev) == 0)
err = 0;
up(&dev->dev.sem);
if (err == 0)
break;
