That is truth. But it looks really suspicious why domains are not assigned monotonically. Some scripts / applications are using PCI location (domain:bus:dev:func) for remembering PCI device and domain change can cause issue for config files. And some (older) applications expects existence of domain zero. In systems without hot plug support with small number of domains (e.g. 3) it means that there are always domains 0, 1 and 2. > Its hard to call this a true regression unless it actually broke > something.

The important is that lot of people are using LTS versions and are doing upgrades when LTS support is dropped. Which for 4.4 now happened. So not all smaller or "cosmetic" changes could be detected until longer LTS period pass. > With all that said looking closer at the code in question I think it is fair > to > assume that the author only intended this change for powernv and pseries > platforms and not every powerpc platform.

I was aware of it, that change could cause issues. And that is why I added config option for choosing behavior. So users would be able to choose what they need. > We could properly limit it to powernv and pseries by using ibm,fw-phb-id > instead > of reg property in the look up that follows a failed ibm,opal-phbid lookup.

And what about setting that new config option to enabled by default for those series? Or is there issue with introduction of the new config option? One of the point is that it is really a good idea to have similar/same behavior for all linux platforms. And if it cannot be enabled by default (for backward compatibility) add at least some option, so new platforms can start using it or users can decide to switch behavior. > -Tyrel > > > For example, prior that commit on P2020 RDB board were PCI domains 0, 1 and > > 2. > > > > $ lspci > > 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > 0000:01:00.0 USB controller: Texas Instruments TUSB73x0 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 > > xHCI Host Controller (rev 02) > > 0001:02:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > 0001:03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network > > Adapter (rev 01) > > 0002:04:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > 0002:05:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac > > Wireless Network Adapter > > > > After that commit on P2020 RDB board are PCI domains 0x8000, 0x9000 and > > 0xa000. > > > > $ lspci > > 8000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > 8000:01:00.0 USB controller: Texas Instruments TUSB73x0 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 > > xHCI Host Controller (rev 02) > > 9000:02:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > 9000:03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network > > Adapter (rev 01) > > a000:04:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P2020E (rev 21) > > a000:05:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac > > Wireless Network Adapter > > > > It is somehow strange that PCI domains are not indexed one by one and > > also that there is no domain 0 > > > > With my patch when CONFIG_PPC_PCI_DOMAIN_FROM_OF_REG is not set, then > > previous behavior used and PCI domains are again 0, 1 and 2. > > > >> Usually we don't commit regressions to mainline ... > >> > >> > >>> > >>> Fix this issue by introducing a new option > >>> CONFIG_PPC_PCI_DOMAIN_FROM_OF_REG > >>> When this options is disabled then powerpc kernel would assign PCI domains > >>> in the similar way like it is doing kernel for other architectures and > >>> also > >>> how it was done prior that commit. > >> > >> You don't define CONFIG_PPC_PCI_DOMAIN_FROM_OF_REG on by default, it > >> means this commit will change the behaviour.
