Hi Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to review this. I'll reply inline below.

This function reads the value of the PCI_CLASS_PROG register for PCI IDE
controllers and configures the PCI BARs and/or IDE ioports accordingly.

In the case where we switch to legacy mode, the PCI BARs are set to return zero
(as suggested in the "PCI IDE Controller" specification), the legacy IDE ioports
are enabled, and the PCI interrupt pin cleared to indicate legacy IRQ routing.

Conversely when we switch to native mode, the legacy IDE ioports are disabled
and the PCI interrupt pin set to indicate native IRQ routing. The contents of
the PCI BARs are unspecified, but this is not an issue since if a PCI IDE
controller has been switched to native mode then its BARs will need to be
programmed.

This is duplicated from hw/ide/ioport.c. I think it would be better to
use the arrays already defined there, ideally by calling ioport.c
functions to setup and release the I/O ports.

The tricky part here is that hw/ide/ioport.c is defined for CONFIG_ISA, and
so if we did that then all PCI IDE controllers would become dependent upon
ISA too, regardless of whether they implement compatibility mode or not.
What do you think is the best solution here? Perhaps moving
ide_init_ioport() to a more ISA-specific place? I know that both myself and
Phil have considered whether ide_init_ioport() should be replaced by
something else further down the line.

Hm, yes, I didn't think about this.

Splitting ioport.c is one option, but even the port lists are really
made for ISA, so the whole file is really ISA related.

On the other hand, pci_ide_update_mode() isn't really a pure PCI
function, it's at the intersection of PCI and ISA. Can we just #ifdef it
out if ISA isn't built? Devices that don't support compatibility mode
should never try to call pci_ide_update_mode().

In terms of the QEMU modelling, the PCI IDE controllers are modelled as a PCIDevice rather than an ISADevice and that's why ide_init_ioport() doesn't really make sense in PCI IDE controllers. Currently its only PCIDevice user is hw/ide/piix.c and that passes ISADevice as NULL, because there is no underlying ISADevice.

The only ISADevice user is in hw/ide/isa.c so I think a better solution here would be to inline ide_init_ioport() into isa_ide_realizefn() and then add a separate function for PCI IDE controllers which is what I've attempted to do here.

How about moving ide_portio_list[] and ide_portio_list2[] to hw/ide/core.c instead? The definitions in include/hw/ide/internal.h already have a dependency on PortioList so there should be no issue, and it allows them to be shared between both PCI and ISA devices.

+
+    switch (mode & 0xf) {
+    case 0xa:
+        /* Both channels legacy mode */

Why is it ok to handle only the case where both channels are set to the
same mode? The spec describes mixed-mode setups, too, and doesn't seem
to allow ignoring a mode change if it's only for one of the channels.

Certainly that can be done: only both channels were implemented initially
because that was the test case immediately available using the VIA. I can
have a look at implementing both channels separately in v2.

I don't think it would make the code more complicated, so it feels like
implementing it right away would be nice.

On the other hand, if you want to see this in 8.2, I'm happy to merge
this part as it is and then we can improve it on top.

I think this helps Zoltan boot AmigaOS on the new AmigaOne machine, and I am certainly planning more work in this area during the 9.0 cycle.

Here I'm not sure what the spec really implies. Disabling the BAR (i.e.
making it read-only and returning 0) while in compatibility mode doesn't
necessarily mean that the value of the register is lost. In other words,
are we sure that a driver can't expect that the old value is still there
when it re-enables native mode?

The specification is definitely a bit vague on the details here. In the
testing I've done with the VIA, there is only ever a switch from native to
legacy mode, and not the other way around. I can see the logic that once
you've gone from the native to legacy mode, the memory allocated for the
BARs is already reserved by the OS so in theory it could be possible to
switch back to native mode again... and that would work if the BARs are
preserved.

Would it happen in practice? I'm not really sure, but I can try to implement
this if you think it makes sense to take a safer approach.

I'm not sure if any driver tries to do something like this. Maybe a
situation where BIOS switches to compatibility mode and then the OS to
native again? But it does feel safer.

The other option would be to not zero out the BAR at all. Doing that is
optional according to the spec. But then we need to make sure that we
ignore any access to the memory region behind the BAR even though its
address is still there.

Come to think of it, don't we need to somehow disable the memory regions
described by the BARs even when we zero them out? I think updating the
config space without calling pci_update_mappings() doesn't actually stop
QEMU from reacting to reads and writes there, does it?

Otherwise, the guest doesn't see the memory region in the BAR any more,
but it would still be active (which is almost the opposite of what we're
supposed to do).

At least the VIA appears to still respond to the BAR addresses even when switched back to compatibility mode (bug?), but without more testing after making the functionality more generic it's difficult to say. Should the BARs be disabled when switched to legacy mode? According to the spec that should be the case, but then a switch from native -> legacy mode doesn't matter because the BAR addresses are already reserved, and a switch from legacy -> native mode would require the BARs to be (re)programmed anyway. I will definitely do some testing with the functionality enabled for all PCI IDE controllers in future, however I'm minded to keep it as simple as possible.

+        /* Clear interrupt pin */
+        pci_config_set_interrupt_pin(d->config, 0);

Unlike for the BARs, I don't see anything in the spec that allows
disabling this byte. I doubt it hurts in practice, but did you see any
drivers requiring this? According to the spec, we just must not use the
PCI interrupt in compatbility mode, but the registers stay accessible.

The PCI config dumps taken from a real VIA indicate that this byte is
cleared in legacy mode, and that appears to make sense here. If you imagine
an early PCI IDE controller, it will always start up in legacy mode and so
you don't want to indicate to the guest OS that PCI IRQ routing is required
unless it has been switched to native mode first.

Ok. I assume that with a per-channel control, you would clear it only if
both channels are in compatibility mode, and set it as soon as one
channel is in native mode?

Yes, I believe that's correct.

As far as I can see, the whole PCI interrupt configuration is currently
unused anyway, and nothing in this series seems to change it. So won't
we incorrectly continue to use the legacy interrupt even in native mode?
(Actually, cmd646 seems to get it wrong the other way around and uses
the PCI interrupt even in compatibility mode.)

I think this means that BMDMAState needs to have two irq lines (a legacy
and a PCI one) and select the right one in bmdma_irq() depending on
which mode we're in currently.

I need to flesh out the details a bit more (in particular testing with more
than just the VIA PCI IDE controller), but yes the eventual aim is to
consolidate the majority of the BMDMA and mode switching code into
hw/ide/pci.c so the individual controllers don't need to worry about this,
and everything "just works".

Zoltan's reply for patch 3 actuallys say that it's correct like this for
the VIA controller, in conflict with what the spec says. So it seems
that we can't make it "just work" for everyone, but we still need to
allow devices to intercept it at least.

I've replied separately to this, and as mentioned that's something that will likely require some future updates to the PCI IRQ routing code.

As I said there, adding a comment in the via emulation should be enough
for now, and we can leave proper generic interrupt handling for another
day (when we want to add switching to a model that's actually consistent
with the spec).

Agreed.

Maybe also leave a TODO comment at the top of this function to remind
other users that interrupt handling needs to be covered by individual
devices for now.

Yes I can definitely add a comment with a TODO. For now in terms of 8.2 would you be happy with:

- Moving ide_portio_list[] and ide_portio_list2[] to hw/ide/core.c

- Change the configuration space access to read all zeros for BARs in 
compatibility
  mode instead of zeroing the BARs

- Leave it so that both channels are switched at the same time

- Add a TODO comment to pci_ide_update_mode() indicating that individual PCI IDE
  controllers are responsible for their own IRQ routing


ATB,

Mark.
