The domain/PHB field of PCI addresses has its value obtained from a
global variable, incremented each time a new domain (represented by
struct pci_controller) is added on the system. The domain addition
process happens during boot or due to PHB hotplug add.
As recent kernels are using predictable naming for network interfaces,
the network stack is more tied to PCI naming. This can be a problem in
hotplug scenarios, because PCI addresses will change if devices are
removed and then re-added. This situation seems unusual, but it can
happen if a user wants to replace a NIC without rebooting the machine,
for example.
This patch changes the way PCI domain values are generated: now, we use
device-tree properties to assign fixed PHB numbers to PCI addresses
when available (meaning pSeries and PowerNV cases). We also use a bitmap
to allow dynamic PHB numbering when device-tree properties are not
used. This bitmap keeps track of used PHB numbers and if a PHB is
released (by hotplug operations for example), it allows the reuse of
this PHB number, avoiding PCI address to change in case of device remove
and re-add soon after. No functional changes were introduced.
