[RFC PATCH 0/2] Allow reusing PCI domain numbers in DT

[RFC PATCH 0/2] Allow reusing PCI domain numbers in DT

[Cui Chao]

This series allows multiple PCIe host bridges to reuse the same software
domain number in Device Tree (DT), provided their resources are disjoint.

In mainstream GPU P2P functionality, whether the GPUs participating in
P2P belong to the same PCIe domain is one of the decision criteria. In
the existing DT path, a uniqueness constraint is imposed on the PCI
domains of multiple PCIe nodes, which prevents devices under different
PCIe RCs from reusing the same software domain number.

It should be noted that equality of PCI domains at the software level
is not equivalent to the final P2P decision. The ACPI path directly
returns '_SEG' and does not perform a similar uniqueness check, as
'_SEG' is a purely software concept and allows multiple RCs to use the
same value.

[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: PCI: Add linux,pci-domain-reuse property

[Cui Chao]

Add a new optional boolean property 'linux,pci-domain-reuse' for PCI
host bridges.

By default, the 'linux,pci-domain' property must be unique across all
host bridges. This property allows a host bridge to explicitly opt-out
of this uniqueness check, permitting multiple host bridges to reuse the
same software domain number.

Host bridges reusing the same domain number must have disjoint ECAM,
bus-range, memory, and IO windows so that (domain, bus) tuples remain
globally unique.

[PATCH 2/2] PCI: Allow reusing PCI domain numbers in DT

[Cui Chao]

In the existing DT path, a uniqueness constraint is imposed on the PCI
domains of multiple PCIe nodes, which prevents devices under different
PCIe RCs from reusing the same software domain number.

Add support for the 'linux,pci-domain-reuse' DT property. For a PCI
node that declares this property, it is allowed to reuse the same
'linux,pci-domain' number with other nodes. For a PCI node that does
not declare this property, the original uniqueness check remains in
place.

Reasonable resource partitioning does not affect the global uniqueness
of devices. When domains are the same, as long as the physical
resources of two PCIe nodes (RCs), such as ECAM, bus ranges, mem32,
mem64, and IO, do not overlap, (domain, bus) remains globally unique,
and the BDFs of all devices are also globally unique.

Device tree example:
Each RC node participating in reuse declares 'linux,pci-domain-reuse';
whether the same number is actually reused is determined by the
'linux,pci-domain' value. In the example, the ECAM, bus-range, and
ranges of the two RCs do not overlap.

Why isn't this deducible from the compatibles?
