Deal only with the VGA devcie(pdev->class == 0x0300), so replace the
pci_get_subsys() function with pci_get_class(). Filter the non-PCI display
device(pdev->class != 0x0300) out. There no need to process the non-display
PCI device.

Hi, here is probably a bug fixing.

For an example, nvidia render only GPU typically has 0x0380.

as its PCI class number, but render only GPU should not participate in
the arbitration.

As it shouldn't snoop the legacy fixed VGA address.

It(render only GPU) can not display anything.


But 0x0380 >> 8 = 0x03, the filter  failed.

So here we only care 0x0300, my initial intent is to make an optimization,

nowadays sane display graphic card should all has 0x0300 as its PCI
class number, is this complete right?

#define PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY        0x03
#define PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA        0x0300
#define PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_XGA        0x0301
#define PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D        0x0302
#define PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_OTHER        0x0380

Any ideas ?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking about here.

To be honest, I'm worried about the PCI devices which has a

PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_XGA as its PCI class number.

As those devices are very uncommon in the real world.


$ find . -name "*.c" -type f | xargs grep "PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_XGA"


Grep the "PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_XGA" in the linux kernel tree got ZERO,

there no code reference this macro. So I think it seems safe to ignore
the XGA ?


PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_3D and PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_OTHER are used to annotate
the render-only GPU.

And render-only GPU can't decode the fixed VGA address space, it is safe
to ignore them.

  For vga_arb, we
only care about VGA class devices since those should be on the only
ones that might have VGA routed to them.

quoted

  However, as VGA gets deprecated,

We need the vgaarb for a system with multiple video card.

Not only because some Legacy VGA devices implemented

on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses;

But also these video card need to participate in the arbitration,

determine the default boot device.

But couldn't the boot device be determined via what whatever resources
were used by the pre-OS console?  I feel like that should be separate
from vgaarb.  vgaarb should handle PCI VGA routing and some other
mechanism should be used to determine what device provided the pre-OS
console.

Alex

Nowadays, the 'VGA devices' here is stand for the Graphics card

which is capable of display something on the screen.

We still need vgaarb to select the default boot device.

quoted

you'll have more non VGA PCI classes for devices which
could be the pre-OS console device.

Ah, we still want  do this(by applying this patch) first,

and then we will have the opportunity to see who will crying if
something is broken. Will know more then.

But drop this patch or revise it with more consideration is also
acceptable.


I asking about suggestion and/or review.
