Now that i have been trying to implement the driver using the new PCI API, i feel a bit lost at the different changes gone into the PCI API. So if someone could give me a brief idea how a minimal PCI probe routine should consist of, that would be quite helpful.







Maybe, you want to read http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/, chapter 12, pages 311+.


I have been updating myself from LDD2 to LDD3. What i was wondering was in what order should i be calling the functions.





You won't call anything, kernel does. You only register driver.
struct pcitbl {venids, devids}

struct driver ... = {probe=a, remove=b, tbl=pcitbl};
a() { if device from pcitbl is in the system (or has been added before some little time) this function is called} b() {if the device was removed from system: modules and hotplug: never called; modules: so if modules unload; if both: if the device was removed on the fly, or module unload}

module_init() { register_driver(driver)}
module_exit() { unregister_driver(driver); }


I was wondering whether pci_enable_device() should come first or pci_dev_put() in the probe routine.


pci_dev_put? No, it counts down reference count, so you would loose the structure. You do NOT do pci_dev_put anymore with pci probing (but some very very specific cases).



Oh, i thought after a pci_dev_get() one does a pci_dev_put()
I wrote something like this, i was now confused with what to do with
pci_get_drvdata() and pci_set_drvdata()
I am not very sure whether i am doing it right in the first place, since
my mapped memory seems to be wrong, but first i have to clear up about
pci_get/set_drvdata().

static int mantis_pci_probe(*struct* pci_dev *pdev, const *struct* pci_device_id *mantis_pci_table)
{
    *struct* mantis_pci *mantis;
    u8 revision, latency;

pdev = pci_get_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MANTIS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_MANTIS_R11, NULL);

you do NOT do this at all, because you have pdev already (the param of the probe function)

    *if* (pdev) {
        dprintk(verbose, MANTIS_DEBUG, 1, "Found a mantis chip");
*if* ((mantis = (*struct* mantis_pci *) kmalloc(*sizeof* (*struct* mantis_pci), GFP_KERNEL)) == NULL) {
            dprintk(verbose, MANTIS_ERROR, 1, "Out of memory");
            *return* -ENOMEM;
        }
        *if* (pci_enable_device(pdev) < 0) {

you do only this

            dprintk(verbose, MANTIS_ERROR, 1, "Could not enable device");
            kfree(mantis);
            *return* -ENODEV;

gotos and return on one place

        }
        mantis->pdev = pdev;

you don't need this, need you? you put mantis with pci_setdrvdata and whenever you want it, you get it from it

        mantis->mantis_addr = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0);
        *if* (!request_mem_region(pci_resource_start(pdev, 0),
            pci_resource_len(pdev, 0), DRIVER_NAME)) {
            kfree(mantis);
            *return* -EBUSY;
        }
pci_read_config_byte(mantis->pdev, PCI_CLASS_REVISION, &revision);
        pci_read_config_byte(mantis->pdev, PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, &latency);
        mantis->mantis_mmio = ioremap(mantis->mantis_addr, 0x1000);
        mmwrite(0, MANTIS_INT_STAT); //*        Clear interrupts    *//
*if* (request_irq(mantis->pdev->irq, (void *) mantis_pci_irq, SA_SHIRQ | SA_INTERRUPT, DRIVER_NAME, (void *) mantis) < 0) { dprintk(verbose, MANTIS_ERROR, 1, "Mantis IRQ registration failed");
            release_mem_region(pci_resource_start(mantis->pdev, 0),
                    pci_resource_len(mantis->pdev, 0));
            pci_disable_device(pdev);
            kfree(mantis);
        }
        pci_dev_put(pdev);

don't do that



    }

*return* 0;
}
