-static struct resource busn_resource = { +struct resource busn_resource = { .name = "PCI busn", .start = 0, .end = 255, .flags = IORESOURCE_BUS, }; +EXPORT_SYMBOL(busn_resource);I don't think this is a good idea. We support multiple PCI domains, and each domain has its own 0-255 bus number range. This busn_resource is only for domain 0 and probably should be handled in arch code instead of the PCI core. Right now, I think it's possible to call pci_scan_bus_parented() or pci_scan_bus() several times for buses in different domains, and they would all share the same busn_resource, which would cause corruption. So it's already broken, but I don't want to make it harder to fix by exporting this stuff.
Hi Bjorn, busn_resource may would not be shared by multi domains, We insert bus number resource like: pci_add_resource(&resources, &busn_resource); pci_bus_insert_busn_res(root_bus, start, bus_max); //start is the root bus number provided by arch pci host driver, bus max here == 255 get_pci_domain_busn_res(domain) //for root bus //try to get a domain specific pci_domain_busn_res, if not exist, create it. request_resource_conflict(domain_specific_busn_res, res) //request busn res(start, bus_max) from the pci_domain_busn_res. So every domain has its own pci_domain_busn_res , different domain would not share the same bus number resource. Do I understand correct ? Thanks! Yijing.
