Hello Mani,
Since you asked for testing, I gave your series a spin
(with a driver without .core_init_notifier).
There seems to be a problem that pci_epc_write_header() is never called.
Debugging this, it seems that .core_init in pci-epf-test is never called.
If I add debug prints in pci_epc_init_notify(), I see that it does not
notify a single EPF driver.
It appears that the patch in $subject will call pci_epc_init_notify()
at EPC driver .probe() time, and at that point in time, there are no
EPF drivers registered.
They get registered later, when doing the configfs write.
I would say that it is the following change that breaks things:
> - if (!core_init_notifier) {
> - ret = pci_epf_test_core_init(epf);
> - if (ret)
> - return ret;
> - }
> -
Since without this code, pci_epf_test_core_init() will no longer be called,
as there is currently no one that calls epf->core_init() for a EPF driver
after it has been bound. (For drivers that call dw_pcie_ep_init_notify() in
probe())
I guess one way to solve this would be for the EPC core to keep track of
the current EPC "core state" (up/down). If the core is "up" at EPF .bind()
time, notify the EPF driver directly after .bind()?
Kind regards,
Niklas
