Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 00/22] introduce PCI bus lock to serialize PCI hotplug operations
From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@...il.com>
This is the second take to resolve race conditions when hot-plugging PCI
devices/host bridges. Instead of using a globla lock to serialize all hotplug
operations as in previous version, now we introduce a state machine and bit
lock mechanism for PCI buses to serialize hotplug operations. For discussions
related to previous version, please refer to:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/15007
This patch-set is still in early stages, so sending it out just requesting
for comments. Any comments are welcomed, especially about whether it's the
right/suitable way to solve these race condition issues.
patch 1-5:
Preparing for coming PCI bus lock
patch 6-7:
Core of the new PCI bus lock mechanism.
patch 8-13:
Enhance PCI core to support PCI bus lock mechanism.
patch 14-18:
Enhance several PCI hotplug drivers to use PCI bus lock to serialize
hotplug operations.
patch 19-20:
Enable PCI bus lock mechanism for x86 and IA64, still need to enable
PCI bus lock for other archs.
patch 21-22:
Cleanups for unsed code.
There are multiple methods to trigger PCI hotplug requests/operations
concurrently, such as:
1. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI core subsystem
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../remove
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../rescan
/sys/devices/pcissss:bb/ssss:bb:dd.f/.../pci_bus/ssss:bb/rescan
/sys/bus/pci/rescan
2. Sysfs interfaces exported by the PCI hotplug subsystem
/sys/bus/pci/slots/xx/power
3. PCI hotplug events triggered by PCI Hotplug Controllers
4. ACPI hotplug events for PCI host bridges
5. Driver binding/unbinding events
binding/unbinding pci drivers with SR-IOV support
With current implementation, the PCI core subsystem doesn't support
concurrent hotplug operations yet. The existing pci_bus_sem lock only
protects several lists in struct pci_bus, such as children list,
devices list, but it doesn't protect the pci_bus or pci_dev structure
themselves.
Let's take pci_remove_bus_device() as an example, which are used by
PCI hotplug drivers to hot-remove PCI devices. Currently all these
are free running without any protection, so it can't support reentrance.
pci_remove_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_device()
->pci_stop_bus_devices()
->pci_stop_dev()
