ngn 5d8491ae3b PCI: shpchp: Remove hpc_ops
Remove the hpc_ops struct from shpchp. This struct is unnecessary and no
other hotplug controller implements it. A similar thing has already been
done in pciehp with 82a9e79ef1 ("PCI: pciehp: remove hpc_ops").

Contributions are solicited in particular to remedy the following issues:

cpcihp:

  • There are no implementations of the ->hardware_test, ->get_power and ->set_power callbacks in struct cpci_hp_controller_ops. Why were they introduced? Can they be removed from the struct?

  • Returned code from pci_hp_add_bridge() is not checked.

cpqphp:

  • The driver spawns a kthread cpqhp_event_thread() which is woken by the hardirq handler cpqhp_ctrl_intr(). Convert this to threaded IRQ handling. The kthread is also woken from the timer pushbutton_helper_thread(), convert it to call irq_wake_thread(). Use pciehp as a template.

  • A large portion of cpqphp_ctrl.c and cpqphp_pci.c concerns resource management. Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?

  • Returned code from pci_hp_add_bridge() is not checked.

ibmphp:

  • Implementations of hotplug_slot_ops callbacks such as get_adapter_present() in ibmphp_core.c create a copy of the struct slot on the stack, then perform the actual operation on that copy. Determine if this overhead is necessary, delete it if not. The functions also perform a NULL pointer check on the struct hotplug_slot, this seems superfluous.

  • Several functions access the pci_slot member in struct hotplug_slot even though pci_hotplug.h declares it private. See get_max_bus_speed() for an example. Either the pci_slot member should no longer be declared private or ibmphp should store a pointer to its bus in struct slot. Probably the former.

  • ibmphp_init_devno() takes a struct slot **, it could instead take a struct slot *.

  • The return value of pci_hp_register() is not checked.

  • The various slot data structures are difficult to follow and need to be simplified. A lot of functions are too large and too complex, they need to be broken up into smaller, manageable pieces. Negative examples are ebda_rsrc_controller() and configure_bridge().

  • A large portion of ibmphp_res.c and ibmphp_pci.c concerns resource management. Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?

  • Returned code from pci_hp_add_bridge() is not checked.

shpchp:

  • The hardirq handler shpc_isr() queues events on a workqueue. It can be simplified by converting it to threaded IRQ handling. Use pciehp as a template.
