Agree. What I was trying to say was that the function is not *defined* if
you have CONFIG_PCI && !CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS, but it has a dummy implementation
for !CONFIG_PCI or CONFIG_PCI && CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS.

That's what my v1 patch was trying to do, but as Tanmay reported, it is not
working, see below for the explanation why (short summary, we ask for domain
number of a bus before the associated pci_host_bridge is alive).

We are on the same page. I was just flagging the amount of work we need to
do here to bring everyone towards common code.

Yes, if only I understood what the intent was here. Unfortunately, the history
of the file stops (for my git tree) at Linus' first commit from v2.6.0, so
I need to dig deeper. What I am looking to understand is the answer to this
question: "When you want to create a new bus and you want to make sure it
is not duplicated, do you go across all domains or pick the current domain
and allow for same bus number in different domains?"

To give some context: I'm looking at drivers/pci/probe.c, pci_create_root_bus().
Specifically, this code:

	b = pci_alloc_bus();
	if (!b)
		return NULL;

	b->sysdata = sysdata;
	b->ops = ops;
	b->number = b->busn_res.start = bus;
	b2 = pci_find_bus(pci_domain_nr(b), bus);
	if (b2) {
		/* If we already got to this bus through a different bridge, ignore it */
		dev_dbg(&b2->dev, "bus already known\n");
		goto err_out;
	}

	bridge = pci_alloc_host_bridge(b);
	if (!bridge)
		goto err_out;


If you look at the comment after pci_find_bus, you can see that the intent was
to try to find duplicate busses covered by different bridges (but in the same
domain? maybe, because there used to be only one domain at the beginning, but
then why use pci_domain_nr() here?). Problems I see here:

  - code is trying to get the domain number of a bus that it just created but not
    plugged yet in the hierarchy
  - pci_find_bus tries to find a bus in the global list of busses that has the
    same domain number and bus number as the parameters of the function. But
    the domain number was plucked out of thin air and all architectures seem to
    actually give you the current active domain number, not the one that actually
    covers the bus (and host_bridge) that you are trying to create.


I will try to restructure the code here, but I think the check is superfluous and
can be done better by a function that tries to find duplicates when you add the
bus, rather than when creating the scaffolding.

Yes, I think this will work, as long as we can figure out if the intent of the
code is corect.

Thanks,
