An MMIO read from a PCI device that doesn't exist or doesn't respond
causes a PCI error.  There's no real data to return to satisfy the
CPU read, so most hardware fabricates ~0 data.

Add a PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE definition for that and use it where
appropriate to make these checks consistent and easier to find.

Also add helper definitions SET_PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE and
RESPONSE_IS_PCI_ERROR to make the code more readable.

Beautiful!  I really like this.

Thank you very much for the review ^^

I would prefer the macros to start with "PCI_", e.g.,
PCI_SET_ERROR_RESPONSE().

ACK

I think "RESPONSE_IS_PCI_ERROR()" is too strong because (as the
comment says), ~0 *may* indicate an error.  Or it may be a successful
read of a register that happens to contain ~0.

Possibilities to convey the idea that this isn't definitive:

  PCI_POSSIBLE_ERROR_RESPONSE(val)  # a little long
  PCI_LIKELY_ERROR(val)             # we really have no idea whether
  PCI_PROBABLE_ERROR(val)           #   likely or probable
  PCI_POSSIBLE_ERROR(val)           # promising?

ACK. Will use PCI_POSSIBLE_ERROR()

Can you rebase to my "main" branch (v5.16-rc1), tweak the above, and
collect up the acks/reviews?

ACK

We should also browse drivers outside drivers/pci for places we could
use these.  Not necessarily as part of this series, although if
authors there object, it would be good to learn that earlier than
later.

Drivers that implement pci_error_handlers might be a fruitful place to
start.  But you've done a great job finding users of ~0 and 0xffff...
in drivers/pci/, too.

A quick grep showed that there are around 80 drivers which have
pci_error_handlers. I was thinking that it would be better if we handle
these drivers in another patch series since the current patch series is
itself 25 patches long. And in my short tenure reading LKML, I gathered
that folks generally are not so kind to a long list of patches in a
single patch series ^^' (I might be wrong though, Apologies)

The consensus on the patch series does seem slightly positive so
ideally, I was hoping that we would not have the case where a author
does not like the way we are handling this patch. Then again, I'm
pretty sure that I might be wrong ^^'

I hope it would be okay that I send in a new patch series with the
suggested changes and handle the other changes in another patch series
^^

Thanks,
Naveen
