2006-12-01PCI: Block on access to temporarily unavailable pci deviceMatthew Wilcox
The existing implementation of pci_block_user_cfg_access() was recently criticised for providing out of date information and for returning errors on write, which applications won't be expecting. This reimplementation uses a global wait queue and a bit per device. I've open-coded prepare_to_wait() / finish_wait() as I could optimise it significantly by knowing that the pci_lock protected us at all points. It looked a bit funny to be doing a spin_unlock_irqsave(); schedule(), so I used spin_lock_irq() for the _user versions of pci_read_config and pci_write_config. Not carrying a flags pointer around made the code much less nasty. Attempts to block an already blocked device hit a BUG() and attempts to unblock an already unblocked device hit a WARN(). If we need to block access to a device from userspace, it's because it's unsafe for even another bit of the kernel to access the device. An attempt to block a device for a second time means we're about to access the device to perform some other operation, which could provoke undefined behaviour from the device.

2005-11-10[PATCH] PCI: drivers/pci/: small cleanupsAdrian Bunk
This patch contains the following cleanups: - access.c should #include "pci.h" for getting the prototypes of it's global functions - hotplug/shpchp_pci.c: make the needlessly global function program_fw_provided_values() static Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-28[PATCH] PCI: Block config access during BISTBrian King
Some PCI adapters (eg. ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card. If, during the time it takes to complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST. On PPC64 hardware, this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is rebooted. This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some blocking code in the PCI code. When blocked, writes will be humored and reads will return the cached value. Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he plans to use this in PPC power management.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
