[Patch] ServerWorks peer bus fix for 2.4.x

Zink, Dan (Dan.Zink@COMPAQ.com)
Wed, 7 Feb 2001 18:46:24 -0600


The ServerWorks peer bus problem is still present on the 2.4.1 kernel. The
problem stems from the fact that there can be more than one secondary bus
for a given north bridge. For example, the Compaq Proliant DL580 has two
"root busses" coming off of a single north bridge. I'm including below an
email from Adam Lackorzynski. In his email, he includes a patch that fixes
the problem. I think Martin objected because he thought the patch got the
meaning of the two config registers wrong, but it is, in fact, correct.

Please accept this patch so that the 2.4 kernel can see all PCI devices on
systems with the ServerWorks chipset.

Thanks,
Dan Zink

------------------------------------------

The patch below (against vanilla 2.4.0) makes Linux recognize
PCI-Devices sitting in another PCI bus than 0 (or 1).

This was tested on a Netfinity 7100-8666 using a ServerWorks chipset.

00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE (rev 21)
00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20HE (rev 01)

00:01.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7896
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet
LANCE] (rev 44)
00:06.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Trio 64 3D (rev 01)
00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks OSB4 (rev 4f)
00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0211

02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43

02:06.0 RAID bus controller: IBM: Unknown device 01bd

The last two lines do not occur without the patch.
