Subject: /proc/ioports regression in 2.6.6 on Tiger4
Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 09:23:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040513.182357.104026513.maeda@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
Hi,
Since 2.6.6, "cat /proc/ioports" loops infinity on Tiger4, because
there is a loop in ioport_resource tree.
$ cat /proc/ioports
00000000-00005fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
00000060-0000006f : i8042
000001f0-000001f7 : ide0
000003c0-000003df : vga+
000003f6-000003f6 : ide0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
00000500-0000053f : 0000:00:1f.0
...
$ /sbin/lspci -vs 00:1f.0
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB LPC Interface Controller (rev 02)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0
0000:00:1f.0, which causes the loop, is an Intel LPC interface bridge,
and quirk_ich4_lpc_acpi() has become called for the bridge since 2.6.6.
The reason of the loop is, pci_claim_resource() is issued twice with
the exactly same resource structure, the first one is called by
quirk_io_region() for quirk_ich4_lpc_acpi() at pci_fixup_device() and
the second one is called by pcibios_fixup_device_resources(),
and in this condition, insert_resource() sets the resource's child pointer
to itself. Oviously, it causes the loop.
There are a few ways to fix the problem as following, but I'm not sure
which one is the best.
1) Do not claim the resource in quirk_io_region().
2) Put additional check in pcibios_fixup_device_resources() if the resource
has already been claimed.
3) Modify insert_resource() not to claim the resource that has already been
claimed and return with -EBUSY.
Does anybody have comments?
Thanks,
Naoaki Maeda
