[PATCH] of_pci_irq: Silence bogus "of_irq_parse_pci() failed ..." messages.

[David Daney]

From: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com>

It is perfectly legitimate for a PCI device to have an
PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN value of zero.  This happens if the device doesn't
use interrupts, or on PCIe devices, where only MSI/MSI-X are
supported.

Silence the annoying "of_irq_parse_pci() failed with rc=-19" error
messages by making them conditional on !-ENODEV (which can only be
produced in the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0 case).

It is not safe to assume that the functions that of_irq_parse_pci() calls
will never be modified to return -ENODEV, thus resulting in of_irq_parse_pci()
returning -ENODEV for a reason other than PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0.

A more robust solution would be something like:


(1) Change of_irq_parse_pci() to _of_irq_parse_pci(), adding an argument and
use it to report the case of PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0.

static int _of_irq_parse_pci(const struct pci_dev *pdev, struct of_phandle_args *out_irq, int *no_pin)
{

...
	*no_pin = 0;
...
	/* No pin, exit */
	if (pin == 0) {
		*no_pin = 1;
		return -ENODEV;
	}
...


int of_irq_parse_pci(const struct pci_dev *pdev, struct of_phandle_args *out_irq)
{
	int no_pin;
	return _of_irq_parse_pci(pdev, out_irq, &no_pin)
}


(2) Then the fix to of_irq_parse_and_map_pci() would be:

  +     int no_pin;
>  	ret = of_irq_parse_pci(dev, &oirq, &no_pin);
>  	if (ret) {

>  	}


I'm not sure I like my solution, there might be a better way.

I also noticed another bug while looking at of_irq_parse_pci().  It returns
the non-zero return value from pci_read_config_byte().  But that value is
one of the PCI function error values from include/linux/pci.h, such as:

   #define PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER     0x87

instead of a negative errno.

Since the current implementation *only ever* returns -ENODEV for 
PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0, we could just document that behavior, and not 
hack up the APIs by adding a second return channel from the function.

The additional change on top of my patch would be to add a comment 
describing this behavior.

And for each function that of_irq_parse_pci() calls and returns status from the
function call you would need to document that behavior, and so on recursively.

For example, you would need to document of_irq_parse_one().  And that returns status
from more function calls, so you would need to document of_irq_parse_oldworld(),
of_parse_phandle_with_args(), of_irq_parse_raw(), and then anything they call.

Yes, but we're talking about a print statement.

I don't like it. That's way too complex for just silencing an
erroneous error message.

Perhaps just move the error message into of_irq_parse_pci and then you
can control the print more easily. Or just change to dev_dbg would be
okay by me.

I was puzzled by why this is not standard error codes a while back. My
best guess is that that there is some legacy here. Changing error
values on widely used functions is impossible to audit. NO_IRQ being 0
or -1 is one such case.

I knew I was making it way too hard.  Yes, just move the error message
to of_irq_parse_pci(), where the "/* No pin, exit */" test occurs.

And this time I replied too quickly, not really thinking through my comment.
There are several error return points in of_irq_parse_pci(), so moving the
error message into of_irq_parse_pci() is not the answer.

                                        is not the answer unless of_irq_parse_pci()
  is changed over to the single point of return style.

I realized I should have typed the whole thought...
