Mmmmm. Yes, you're right. pci_bus_{read,write}_config_{byte,word,dword}()
all acquire pci_lock. For anybody following along at home, here's the
path I was concerned about:
pci_read_config_byte
pci_bus_read_config_byte
lock(&pci_lock) # acquire pci_lock
bus->ops->read/write # struct pci_ops
pci_generic_config_read # gen_pci_ops
bus->ops->map_bus
xgene_pcie_map_bus # xgene_pcie_ops
xgene_pcie_set_rtdid_reg
writel # requires mutex
readb # config read
I'm not exactly sure *why* we do locking there, other than we're just
too scared to change it. As far as I know, methods like ECAM shouldn't
require that lock, so it's sort of a shame to do it at the top level
like that.
Some of the low-level routines, like pci_{conf1,conf2,bios}, also use a
lock (pci_config_lock in these cases). We do need it there because a
few paths do call the low-level routines directly.
Here's a typical path on x86:
pci_read_config_byte
pci_bus_read_config_byte
lock(&pci_lock) # acquire pci_lock
bus->ops->read/write # struct pci_ops
pci_read # x86 pci_root_ops
raw_pci_read
raw_pci_ops->read
pci_conf1_read # x86 raw_pci_ops
lock(&pci_config_lock) # acquire pci_config_lock
And here's a path on x86 that uses the low-level routines directly and
requires the locking there:
acpi_os_read_pci_configuration
raw_pci_read
raw_pci_ops->read
pci_conf1_read
lock(&pci_config_lock)
So ideally I think the locking would be done in the low-level routines
that need it, and we could do without pci_lock. But I don't know
whether that's practical at this point or not.
