arm64: PCI: Manage controller-specific data on per-controller basis

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 093d24a204 ]

Currently we use one shared global acpi_pci_root_ops structure to keep
controller-specific ops. We pass its pointer to acpi_pci_root_create() and
associate it with a host bridge instance for good.  Such a design implies
serious drawback. Any potential manipulation on the single system-wide
acpi_pci_root_ops leads to kernel crash. The structure content is not
really changing even across multiple host bridges creation; thus it was not
an issue so far.

In preparation for adding ECAM quirks mechanism (where controller-specific
PCI ops may be different for each host bridge) allocate new
acpi_pci_root_ops and fill in with data for each bridge. Now it is safe to
have different controller-specific info. As a consequence free
acpi_pci_root_ops when host bridge is released.

No functional changes in this patch.
