[GIT PATCH] PCI patches for 2.6.15 - retry

Here are some PCI patches against your latest git tree.  They have all
been in the -mm tree for a while with no problems.  I've pulled out all
of the offending patches that people objected to, or ones that crashed
older machines from the last series I sent you.

The thing that touches so many different files are the change from the
pci_module_init() to pci_register_driver() that was done by Richard
Knutsson.  Other big stuff is the addition of the pci error recovery
framework, after many different revisions and reworks.
There are also some pci hotplug fixes, and quirks added.

Please pull from:
	rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/pci-2.6.git/
or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/pci-2.6.git/

The full patches will be sent to the linux-pci mailing list, if anyone
wants to see them.

thanks,

greg k-h

Before I pull this, I'd like to get some confirmation that some of the 
other problems that seem to be PCI-related in the -mm tree are also 
understood, or at least known to be part of the stuff that you're _not_ 
sending me..

It's really hard to keep track of all this, so it's likely that some things
will still sneak through.

- Reuben Farrelly's oops in make_class_name().  Could be libata, or scsi
  or driver core.

- A few problems with ehci.  For example Grant Coady went oops loading
  the module.  Probably USB, maybe solved now, but there are
  interactions...

- gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch is a problem, but
  wasn't in this tree.

Yes, Martin is reporting failures on a few machines.  Hopefully he's
working out whether gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch was
the culprit here.  If so, I'd say we're good to go.  If that's _not_ the
source then we just don't know where the failure is coming from.

All very vague, sorry.

libata I think. I reproduced it on 2.6.14-mm2 by accident with a buggy
pata driver.

Well that's all merged up now.  Reuben, could you please test 2.6.15git6
tomorrow?

A couple of reboots later with git6 and at this stage it seems all OK, no oopses.

I'm still having 100% repeatable "soft" hangs when booting up though, both with 
-mm2 (-mm1 seems OK in this regard) and git6.  It's enough to make git6 and mm2 
unusable because the machine never finishes booting userspace.  I'll put more 
details of that in another email following up to the original -mm2 thread, as 
it's unrelated to the oops above (but probably equally as nasty).

But it means I can't test the git6 fixes much more because every time I boot it 
I have to alt-sysrq S+U+B or uncleanly kill the box by hitting the reset button.

Seemingly not fixed afterall.  I've been doing many reboots lately getting to 
the bottom of the barrier/md bug and just before I hit this with -mm3 
(linus.patch -git7) which I believe is the same bug (the call trace looks very 
similar).

I'm getting my bugs confused now - there are so many.  Were you the person
who reported this before?

Jeff, I beleive this is a sata bug.  ata_device_add() called
ata_host_remove() and something under there isnot yet sufficiently
initialised.

Yes.  It was suggested I try -git6.  I reported that it seemed to be OK, but 
clearly it isn't.  Then again, I've done a hell of a lot of reboots in the last 
couple of days.

I've updated my list at

http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/outstanding-kernel-bugs.txt
and
http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/

This is a very basic text file which outlines the details of the various bugs 
that I have on the go at any given point in time and where they're at as.  There 
are various postings on LKML reporting almost all of them.

That is the critical bit. The SATA ports have no PCI resources assigned
for bus mastering (BAR 4). libata should have driven the device PIO in
this case but the resource should have been assigned.

Agreed.  This appears to be BIOS assigning bad values to SATA hardware.

However, libata should recognize this and not attempt to iomap or drive 
the hardware, in that case, rather than oops.

Some testing tonight has shown up a bit more about where this regression crept in.

Below the table reads release on left hand side, and the result of a given 
reboot on  the right hand side after the dash.  I had to do so many reboots to 
be sure that the bug was there or not - as you can see from the -mm1 test it 
doesn't always show up.

2.6.15 - OK OK OK OK OK
2.6.15-git1 - OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK
2.6.15-git2 - OK
2.6.15-git6 - OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK
2.6.15-git12 - OK OK OK OK OK OK OK

2.6.15-rc5-mm3 - OK OK OK(but oopsed in usb) OK OK(but oopsed in usb)
    Those oopses in USB were only seen in this release so looks likely whatever
    was causing them was fixed soon after.
2.6.15-mm1 - OK OK OOPSED OOPSED OOPSED all in ATA
2.6.15-mm2 + mm3 - [known to OOPS on this bug frequently but not tested in this 
round]
2.6.15-mm4 - OOPSED OK OOPSED TIMEOUT TIMEOUT OOPS OK
2.6.15-mm1 with no git-acpi.patch - TIMEOUT TIMEOUT OOPSED TIMEOUT OK

OK means the system booted up to single user mode without issue, TIMEOUT means 
that the controllers were assigned IRQ 50 and then failed to find any ATA disks 
and OOPSED means that he SATA ports were not assigned IRQs at all and hence the 
system oopsed out like this:

ahci: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -12
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x0 ctl 0x2 bmdma 0x0 irq 0
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x0 ctl 0x2 bmdma 0x8 irq 0
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  printing eip:
c023c873
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000 [#1]
<plus a trace and a whole lot more>

Full output on http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/outstanding-kernel-bugs.txt (as
usual)

In summary the good news is that 2.6.15-git12 (which is the latest linus tree)
is GOOD and does not seem to exhibit this problem.  Not a single -git release 
crapped out.  It seems some regression was introduced into 2.6.15-mm1 which has 
been carried forward through to -mm4 so far though but never pushed to Linus.
I guess it also suggests that it's not a hardware or bios issue given the sheer 
number of successful reboots in a row, and I think reverting the git-acpi.patch 
suggests that ACPI is not the cause of it, at least in this instance.  But 
that's about as far as I have gotten.

45 reboots later I'm finishing for tonight, but before I go back and hit it with
git bisect to narrow it down any further, Andrew/Jeff does this make it any 
easier to pinpoint, and/or do you have any preliminary patches to test or ideas 
as to what other subsystems could be involved?

Thanks,
Reuben

Any additional info?  How can I reproduce?

In my case I'm fairly sure (waves arms frantically) that it was
registering a controller which then failed to add any drives so it got
cleaned back up early

Haven't heard of this one before, but it shouldn't be a pci issue.

People are still working on this one, but it shouldn't be a pci issue.

Yes, that's the x86-* patches in my tree, from Jeff, and I'm not going
to be sending them to you until all of the breakage is fixed up (he
created them for machines that aren't public yet, so I don't think
there's a rush for them to get in anytime soon...)

It sure looks like it's the reason why, as we are suddenly failing with
a NULL pointer problem after we change an integer field into a pointer :)

Linus, it should all be safe for you to pull this tree, as I took
everything that people objected to out of my last attempt :)
