Note that the current code also attempts to physically eject the
card when you power it off like this.

The code invokes an ACPI _STAtus method to report the power state.
It can get confused if that reports that the device is still
present. The code does keep internal info about the power state
of each slot, but it doesn't use it to report power state.

If the firmware had a working _EJ0 method for this slot, the
card has been physically ejected.

Does this patch help? It decouples power changes from physical
ejection. With this, you can use the sysfs power control file
to repeatedly power a device on and off. You have to use an
acpi button press to actually physically eject it. Patch 
applies on 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 on top of the acpiphp re-write
plus all the other new patches.

---

Current acpiphp code does not distinguish between the physical
presence and power state of a device/slot. That is, if a device
has to be disabled, it also tries to physically ejects the device.
This patch decouples power state from physical presence. You can
now echo to the corresponding sysfs power control file to 
repeatedly enable and disable a device without having to
physically re-insert it.

Earlier I reported that Matthew's acpiphp rewrite had problem in 
powering down slot on my i386 system.  The following patch is 
needed to get the acpiphp rewrite properly powering down the slot.
A similar patch was sent out to Matthew for comment and Rajesh 
had tested the patch on Tiger4.

I just did a test of Rajesh's latest patch on 2.6.11.5 with
Wilcox's acpiphp rewrite and the following patch.  Hot-plug of 
PCI Express card worked fine on my i386 system

I tested an earlier version of this patch on my i386 system with
PCI Express hot-plug slots.  The i386 acpiphp functionality worked
fine - i.e. I was able to do hot-plug of single- & multi-function 
cards.  

I'll check this new patch on my system.

PCI Express hot-plug has been tried (see above).  The original 
acpiphp driver won't detect hot-pluggable slots that locate on the
p2p bridge (PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X bridge) behind another p2p 
bridge (root port).  Therefore, the acpiphp can't be used for
standard PCI hot-plug in my system.

Dely

I believe others are already working on it. I expect to free up
a bit more in a couple of weeks.  If I don't see any patches or

too.

Is p2p hotplug in your roadmap (for i386) ?
Can you please give me an example of a root bridge ?

No. The current patches only trigger when a _root_ bridge is
hot-added, not a PCI to PCI bridge (which is what the docking 
station is). The code to support p2p bridge hotplug will benefit
from these patches but more code is needed to support that.

It scans the ACPI namespace under the root bridge that was added.
Any pci devices underneath are scanned and added, but there isn't
any code to look for non-PCI devices there.

The last patch (12) in the series is the only one that depends on
Matthew's acpiphp rewrite.  I do have a really old version of my
patch that worked with the original acpiphp code base but this
version is cleaner. I could probably resurrect my old patch if you
want, but I'd rather prefer to work on and fix any other objections
you or others may have with Matthew's re-write, since that's the 
better overall approach.

>   - Does this break the i386 acpiphp functionality?

Dely Sy had tested hotplug with an earlier version of my patches
(with minor differences from the current series) on i386 and it
worked fine. She probably hasn't tested the latest one. Dely,
could you check that please? The i386 hotplug capable box I
have doesn't seem to have the right firmware, so I haven't 
been able to test hotplug on that (I'm working on fixing that).
Of course, I tested my patches on i386 (ACPI as well as non-ACPI)
and x86_64 machines to make sure I didn't break boot on those.


>   - Have you tested other pci hotplug systems with this patch

No, because I the one system I have access to isn't doing any
hot-plug. I'm working on fixing that but was also hoping to hear
from others who surely have access to more machines than I do.

I honestly don't know what the best approach is here - what do you
recommend? I did receive an email from Andrew indicating he wants
to pick these up for the next mm. Perhaps the best thing is to
let Andrew include the whole series after I've addressed all
feedback and you, Tony, Len etc. all agree these are OK to go in.

This is the first time I sent the patches to the acpi list, so I do
need to give them a few days to weigh in.

Does this mean that when it will be ported for i386, I will be able to
really use my Docking Station ?
Does it rescan the DSDT to find new additions to ACPI devices ?

I have an IBM docking station with a PCI bus inside and some other
devices, and when I hot plug my IBM ThinkPad T41 in it, it does not
recognize those devices. Only if I boot in dock they are usable.
And the DSDT is different if I boot in dock or not.
So I wander if this patch would help me to hot plug my T41 in the dock and
all devices will be recognized. (when the patch will be for i386 too)


Thx,
Paul

This all looks very good, nice job.  I only had one minor comment on the
patches, which I'll reply to directly.

But I did have a few questions:
- This series relys on Mathew's rewrite of the acpiphp driver.
  Is that acceptable?  Is that patch necessary for your work?
  And if so, can you include it in the whole series?
- Does this break the i386 acpiphp functionality?
- Have you tested other pci hotplug systems with this patch
  series?  Like pci express hotplug, standard pci hotplug,
  cardbus, etc?
- Are you wanting the acpi specific patches to go into the tree
  through the acpi developers?  How about the ia64 specific
  patches?
- Have the acpi developers agreed with your acpi patches?

thanks,

greg k-h

[RFC/Patch 0/12] ACPI based root bridge hot-add

2005-03-18 Thread Rajesh Shah
Here is a series of patches to support ACPI hot-add of a root
bridge hierarchy. The added hierarchy may contain other p2p 
bridges and end/leaf I/O devices too. The root bridge itself is
assumed to have been assigned resource ranges, but the p2p
bridges and end devices are not required to be initialized by
firmware. Most of the code changes are to make the existing code
flows suitable for such a hierarchy of bridges & devices.

This code supports hot-add on ia64 only for now.It does not yet
support I/O APIC hot-add, which is needed to make this fully
functional.  The patches are against 2.6.11-mm4 (plus the patch 
needed for ia64 to boot). I've tested to make sure this does not 
break end/leaf device hotplug on the hotplug capable ia64 box I have.

Thanks,
Rajesh
