I was sort of expecting that if you added it here, we'd remove the existing call, but it looks like you're keeping both?
We can't remove the existing call, since it is used on X86 and IA64 to store the segment number that, in the process, is used in their pci_domain_nr() arch specific callback to retrieve the domain nr.
On ARM64, that selects PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC, we have to find a way to retrieve the domain number that is not arch dependent, since this is generic code, we can't rely on any bus->sysdata format (unless we do something like JC did below), therefore the only way is to call the _SEG method *again* here, which also forced Tomasz to go through the ACPI_COMPANION setting song and dance and pass the parent pointer to pci_create_root_bus() (see patch 1), which BTW is a source of trouble on its own as you noticed.
What trouble in patch 1 do you mean? I may miss something.
I agree that patch 1 is not necessary if we decide to use sysdata or rework root bus scanning to move domain to host bridge. Nevertheless, patch 1 is still a cleanup IMO.
In this case, getting the domain should be trivial since the ACPI companion on parent is already set, this should work
int acpi_pci_bus_domain_nr(struct device *parent) { struct acpi_device *acpi_dev = to_acpi_device(parent); struct acpi_pci_root *root = acpi_dev->driver_data;
return root->segment;}
Or am I missing something here?
Well, I thought that the whole idea behind this exercise was to move the domain number into struct pci_host_bridge (Arnd did not do it with his first set but this does not mean we can't add it as Bjorn suggested), so that the domain number could be read from there straight away in an arch (and FW) independent manner, right ?
The original issue was using _SEG call again instead of using the value from acpi_pci_root, and the solution for that problem is very simple.
The pci host bridge work is of course very useful, but creating a dependency with that work for an issue that can be so easily solved is unnecessary.
It can be easily solved if we do not drop patch 1 (I understood the additional call to _SEG was only part of the problem). If we keep patch 1 the code above is fine by me, if we have to drop patch 1 (IIRC by passing the parent pointer to pci_create_root_bus() we are affecting IA64 and X86 code, if that's acceptable that's fine by me) I do not think we can use the code above anymore, that's what my comment was all about because Bjorn was concerned about the fragility of the code setting the ACPI companion.
