Subject: [PATCH v4 05/11] PCI: liveupdate: Inherit bus numbers during Live Update
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 21:23:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423212316.3431746-6-dmatlack@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423212316.3431746-1-dmatlack@google.com>

Inherit bus numbers from the previous kernel during a Live Update when
one or more PCI devices are being preserved.

During a Live Update, preserved devices must be allowed to continue
performing memory transactions so the kernel cannot change the fabric
topology, including bus numbers, since that would require disabling
and flushing any memory transactions first.

To keep things simple, inherit the secondary and subordinate bus numbers
on all bridges if any PCI devices were preserved (i.e. even bridges
without any downstream endpoints that were preserved). This avoids
accidentally assigning a bridge a new window that overlaps with a
preserved device that is downstream of a different bridge.

If a bridge is enumerated with a broken topology or has no bus numbers
set during a Live Update, refuse to assign it new bus numbers and refuse
to enumerate devices below it. This is a safety measure to prevent
topology conflicts.

Require that CONFIG_CARDBUS is not enabled to enable
CONFIG_PCI_LIVEUPDATE since inheriting bus numbers on PCI-to-CardBus
bridges requires additional work but is not a priority at the moment.
