Can you elaborate why it is a regression ?

That commit says 'no functionnal changes', I'm having hard time 
understanding how a nochange can be a regression.

Usually we don't commit regressions to mainline ...

You don't define CONFIG_PPC_PCI_DOMAIN_FROM_OF_REG on by default, it 
means this commit will change the behaviour. Is that expected ?

Is that really worth a user selectable option ? Is the user able to 
decide what he needs ?

Is that really a fix ? What is the problem really ?

It is not 'no functional change'. That commit completely changed PCI
domain assignment in a way that is incompatible with other architectures
and also incompatible with the way how it was done prior that commit.

For example, prior that commit on P2020 RDB board were PCI domains 0, 1 and 2.

$ lspci

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)

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.

Well, I hope that maintainers of that code answer to these questions.

In any case, I think that it could be a user selectable option as in
that commit is explained that in some situation is makes sense to do
PCI domain numbering based on DT reg.

But as I pointed above, upgrading from 4.4 TLS kernel to some new TLS
kernel brings above regression, so I think that there should be a way to
disable this behavior.

In my opinion, for people who are upgrading from 4.4 TLS kernel, this
option should be turned off by default (= do not change behavior). For
people who want same behaviour on powerpc as on other platforms, also it
should be turned off by default.

Problem is that PCI domains were changed in a way that is not compatible
neither with version prior that commit and neither with how other linux
platforms assign PCI domains for controllers.

No, PPC_OF_PLATFORM_PCI has line "depends on PPC64 # not supported on 32
bits yet". But it is already used also for e.g. P2020 which is 32-bit
platform.

I agree that the "no functional change" statement is incorrect. However, for
most powerpc platforms it ended up being simply a cosmetic behavior change. As
far as I can tell there is nothing requiring domain ids to increase montonically
from zero or that each architecture is required to use the same domain numbering
scheme. Its hard to call this a true regression unless it actually broke
something. The commit in question has been in the kernel since 4.8 which was
released over 5 1/2 years ago.

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. That change was done to make
persistent naming easier to manage in userspace. Your change defaults back to
the old behavior which will now break both powernv and pseries platforms with
regard to hotplugging and persistent naming.

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. I
think this is acceptable as long as no other powerpc platforms have started
using this behavior for persistent naming.

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.

I agree, it really depends on how you look at it.

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.

I agree that this behavior change may be useful in some situations and I
do not object this need.

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.

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.

This is a powerpc thing so I'm just kibbitzing a little.

This basically looks like a new config option to selectively revert
63a72284b159.  That seems hard to maintain and doesn't seem like
something that needs to be baked into the kernel at compile-time.

The 63a72284b159 commit log says persistent NIC names are tied to PCI
domain/bus/dev/fn addresses, which seems like something we should
discourage because we can't predict PCI addresses in general.  I
assume other platforms typically use udev with MAC addresses or
something?

 It is not 'no functional change'. That commit completely changed
 PCI domain assignment in a way that is incompatible with other
 architectures and also incompatible with the way how it was done
 prior that commit.

Strongly agree here in both points: first, this was not a "no functional
change" thing, and I apologize for adding this in the commit message.
What I meant is that: despite changing the numbering, (as Tyrel said)
nothing should require increasing monotonic mutable PCI domains. At
least, I'm not aware of such requirement in any spec or even in the
kernel and adjacent tooling.

I don't remember all the details about PPC dt, but it should already be
restricted to pseries/powernv, right? At least, the commit has a comment:

/* If not pseries nor powernv, or if fixed PHB numbering tried to add
 * the same PHB number twice, then fallback to dynamic PHB numbering.*/

If this is *not* restricted to these 2 platforms, I agree with Pali's
approach, although I'd consider the correct is to keep the persistent
domain scheme for both pnv and pseries, as it's working like this for 5
years and counting, and this *does* prevent a lot of issues with PCI
hotplugging in PPC servers.

I don't considereit breaks the userspace since this is definitely no
stable ABI (or if it is, I'm not aware and my apologies). If scripts
rely on that, they are doing the wrong thing it seems.

With that said, I'm definitely not against improving the situation with
Pali's KConfig - just think that we somehow should keep the persistent
behavior for powernv and pseries.
Hopefully PPC folks has more to say on that!

 I agree that the "no functional change" statement is incorrect.
 However, for most powerpc platforms it ended up being simply a
 cosmetic behavior change. As far as I can tell there is nothing
 requiring domain ids to increase montonically from zero or that
 each architecture is required to use the same domain numbering
 scheme.

 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. I think this is acceptable as long
 as no other powerpc platforms have started using this behavior for
 persistent naming.

I mentioned this in a previous post, but it is clear the Author's intent was for
this only to apply to powernv and pseries platforms. However, it only really
checks for powernv, and if that fails it does a read the reg property for the
domain which works for and PPC platform. If we really only want this on powernv
and pseries and revert all other PPC platforms back we can fix this with a
pseries check instead of a config property. Using ibm,fw-phb-id instead of reg
property if ibm,opal-phbid lookup fails does the trick.

I'm sorry this broke your system. But I don't really consider it a
regression, the kernel provides no guarantee about the PCI domain
numbering across LTS releases.

Prior to the change the numbering was just based on the order the PHBs
were discovered in the device tree, which is not robust. A cosmetic
refactor of the device tree source could cause PHBs to be discovered in
a different order.

Similarly a change in firmware PCI discovery or device tree generation
could cause the numbering to change.

If you have scripts that are looking for certain devices they can use
the vendor/device fields in sysfs to find the actual devices they want,
not just whatever happens to be at :01:00.0.

I really don't want a config option for that.

There is a device tree property "linux,pci-domain", described in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt.

Can you try adding that to your device tree and updating
get_phb_number() to look for it?

cheers

This does not work if you have more cards with same vendor+device ids in system.
