The process Linux uses for determining if a device supports EEH or not
appears to be at odds with what PAPR says the OS should be doing. The
current flow is something like:
1. Assume pe_config_addr is equal the the device's config_addr.
2. Attempt to enable EEH on that PE
3. Verify EEH was enabled (POWER4 bug workaround)
4. Try find the pe_config_addr using the ibm,get-config-addr-info2 RTAS
call.
5. If that fails walk the pci_dn tree upwards trying to find a parent
device with EEH support. If we find one then add the device to that PE.
The first major problem with this process is that we need the PE config
address in step 2) since its needs to be passed to the ibm,set-eeh-option
RTAS call when enabling EEH for th PE. We hack around this requirement in
by making the assumption in 1) and delay finding the actual PE address
until 4). This is fine if:
a) The PCI device is the 0th function, and
b) The device is on the PE's root bus.
Granted, the current sequence does appear to work on most systems even when
these conditions are false. At a guess PowerVM's RTAS has workarounds to
accommodate Linux's quirks or the RTAS call to enable EEH is treated as
no-op on most platforms since EEH is usually enabled by default. However,
what is currently implemented is a bit sketch and is downright confusing
since it doesn't match up with what what PAPR suggests we should be doing.
This patch re-works how we handle EEH init so that we find the PE config
address using the ibm,get-config-addr-info2 RTAS call first, then use the
found address to finish the EEH init process. It also drops the Power4
workaround since as of commit

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
