I think so, and we probably should consider the two cases separately

I am reasonably convinced that for MMIO (+IO+CFG space) we should map
everything as described by the ranges property of the top most node, it
can be considered an analogue to / extension of the reg property of that
node.
Agreed.
For IRQ I'm not so sure, it's possible that routing the IRQ at
pci_add_device time might be better, or fit in better with e.g. the ACPI
architecture, but mapping everything described in interrupt-map at start
of day is also an option and a reasonably simple one, probably.
I agree that it's simple. Are we sure that we would be able to get a
"better" solution later without modifying the kernel?
If not, we may need to keep this solution forever.
This isn't to do with IPA->PA translations but to do with translations
between different PA addressing regimes. i.e. the different addressing
schemes of difference busses.
I meant bus address. The name "intermediate address" was misused, sorry.
Lets say we have a system with a PCI-ROOT device exposing a PCI bus,
which in turn contains a PCI-BRIDGE which for the sake of argument lets
say is a PCI-FOOBUS bridge.
Lets just consider the MMIO hole for now, but IRQ is basically the same.
The ranges property on a node describes a mapping from a "parent"
address space into a "child" address space.
For PCI-ROOT "parent" is the host physical address space and "child" is
the PCI MMIO/IO/CFG address spaces.
For PCI-BRIDGE "parent" is the PCI-ROOT's child address space (i.e. PCI
MMIO/IO/CFG) and "child" is the FOOBUS address space.
The inputs ("parents") of the PCI-BRIDGE ranges property must therefore
by definition be valid outputs of the PCI-ROOT ranges property (i.e. be
"child" addresses).
Therefore if we map all of the input/parent ranges described by
PCI-ROOT's ranges property we do not need to recurse further and
consider PCI-BRIDGE's ranges property -- we've effectively already dealt
with it.
Does that make more sense?
I'm still confused, what prevents the PCI-ROOT device to not be
connected to another bus?
In device tree format, that would give something like:
/ {
soc {
ranges = "...";
pcie {
ranges = "...";
}
}
}
Actually the device tree of the x-gene board has something similar.
/ {
soc {
ranges;
pcie {
ranges = "...";
}
}
"ranges;" means there is not translation necessary. But nothing prevent
to have a the property "ranges" set.
