"core_init_notifier" flag is set by the glue drivers requiring refclk from
the host to complete the DWC core initialization. Also, those drivers will
send a notification to the EPF drivers once the initialization is fully
completed using the pci_epc_init_notify() API. Only then, the EPF drivers
will start functioning.

For the rest of the drivers generating refclk locally, EPF drivers will
start functioning post binding with them. EPF drivers rely on the
'core_init_notifier' flag to differentiate between the drivers.
Unfortunately, this creates two different flows for the EPF drivers.

So to avoid that, let's get rid of the "core_init_notifier" flag and follow
a single initialization flow for the EPF drivers. This is done by calling
the dw_pcie_ep_init_notify() from all glue drivers after the completion of
dw_pcie_ep_init_registers() API. This will allow all the glue drivers to
send the notification to the EPF drivers once the initialization is fully
completed.

Only difference here is that, the drivers requiring refclk from host will
send the notification once refclk is received, while others will send it
during probe time itself.

You have removed the .core_init_notifier from EPC drivers,
but the callback in EPF drivers is still called .core_init.

Yes, this was a confusing name even before this patch, but
after this patch, it is probably even worse :)

The callback should be named from the perspective of EPF drivers IMO.
.core_init sounds like a EPF driver should initialize the core.
(But that is of course done by the EPC driver.)

The .link_up() callback name is better, the EPF driver is informed
that the link is up.

Perhaps we could rename .core_init to .core_up ?

It tells the EPF drivers that the core is now up.
(And the EPF driver can configure the BARs.)


Considering that you are not changing the name of the callback,
and that it was already confusing before this patch:

I don't disagree :) I thought about it but then decided to not extend the scope
of this series further. So saved that for next series.

But yeah, it is good to clean it up here itself.

If you intend to create a .core_deinit or .core_down (or whatever name
you decide on), perhaps it is better to leave this cleanup to be part
of that same series?

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

Yeah, that's a good solution. But I think it would be better if the EPC caches
all events if the EPF drivers are not available and dispatch them once the bind
happens for each EPF driver. Even though INIT_COMPLETE is the only event that is
getting generated before bind() now, IMO it is better to add provision to catch
other events also.

Wdyt?

I'm not sure.
What if the EPF goes up/down/up, it seems a bit silly to send all those
events to the EPF driver that will alloc+free+alloc.

Do we know for sure that we will want to store + replay events other than
INIT_COMPLETE?

And how many events should we store?


Until we can think of a good reason which events other than UP/DOWN we
can to store, I think that just storing the state as an integer in
struct pci_epc seems simpler.


Or I guess we could continue with a flag in struct pci_epc_features,
like has_perst_notifier, which would then require the EPC driver to
call both epc_notify_core_up() and epc_notify_core_down() when receiving
the PERST deassert/assert.
For a driver without the flag set, the EPC core would call
.epc_notify_core_up() after bind. (And .epc_notify_core_down() would never
be called, or it could call it before unbind().)
That way an EPF driver itself would not need any different handling
(all callbacks would always come, either triggered by an EPC driver that
has PERST GPIO irq, or triggered by the EPC core for a driver that lacks
a PERST GPIO).


Kind regards,
Niklas

For simplicity, I've just used a flag in 'struct pci_epc' to track the core_init
and call the callback during bind().

But the series has grown big, so I decided to split it into two. One to address
the DBI access issue and also remove the 'core_init_notifier' flag and another
one to make EPF drivers more robust to handle the host reboot scenario.
