Originally, the PCI sensitive OF node is tracing the eeh device
through struct device_node::edev. However, it was regarded as
bad idea.

The patch removes struct device_node::edev. In addition, the
global list of eeh devices is introduced, and do retrival of
eeh device according to the given OF node through the global
list.

So I'm not too happy with that. The main problem I see is that
the code -constantly- calls of_node_to_eeh_dev.

IE. On any MMIO that happens to return all 1's, we'll call
eeh_check_failure() for example, which does that. In fact for a hot path
it's pretty horrid, it will:

 - Do an address cache lookup to get the pci_dev
 - Get the device-node frokm the pci_dev
 - Lookup your list to get the eeh_dev

Shouldn't we instead change the address cache to contain eeh_dev
instead ? And if you prefer keeping pci_dev, then it shouldn't be hard
to stick a pointer to the eeh_dev in there via either struct archdata or
maybe platform_data.

The EEH code still, even after your rework, constantly pass "dn"'s as
argument to functions just to convert it back to a struct eeh_dev rather
than trying to pass the eeh_dev.

So turning that into a list lookup will slow things down to a crawl.
Also your patch never seems to remove anything from your list, which
doesn't look right vs. hotplug.

I suggest we fix that with a two phase approach:

 1- ASAP so we can still get that into 3.4, move the eeh_dev pointer to
struct pci_dn instead of struct device_node. This structure is
accessible directly via dn->data and is ppc specific, that will be a
better temporary solution and and adding stuff to the generic struct
device_node.

 2- Then, what we need to do is generalize the use of eeh_dev rather
than device_node as the main object being worked on in the eeh layer and
thus as the argument to most functions.

Cheers,
Ben.

Yes, it's somewhat expensive.

I'm working on explicit PE support and hopefully, I can send out
the code next week for review. The basic idea is to introuce
struct eeh_pe and attached eeh_dev to the corresponding PE. In turn,
eeh core will use PE as parameter instead of current eeh_dev ;-)

I've sent patch again it and please take a look when you have time.

All I see is your patch that does the lookup, I missed the patch to move
it to pci_dn, can you re-send that to me directly ?

Thanks !
