Hello,
sym53c8xx.c contains the following code, apparently to work around
a problem with some HP boxes:
/* Some HW as the HP LH4 may report twice PCI devices */
for (i = 0; i < count ; i++) {
if (devtbl[i].slot.bus == PciBusNumber(pcidev) &&
devtbl[i].slot.device_fn == PciDeviceFn(pcidev))
break;
}
if (i != count) /* Ignore this device if we already have it */
continue;
I'm working on a box with multiple PCI segments, i.e., there are
several PCI domains, each with its own range of 0-255 bus numbers.
So if we put an adapter at 10:00.0 on segment 0, and another at
10:00.0 on segment 1, the driver ignores the second because it
has the same bus and device/fn as the first.
So I'm interested in specifics about this problem so I can think
about possibilities for fixing my segment problem without
reintroducing an LH4 problem. For instance, maybe we can
change the architecture-specific PCI code to deal with the
"multiple devices" problem for ALL drivers, not just sym53c8xx.
