[PATCH v19 11/14] PCI: Cache PCI DSN into pci_dev->dsn during probe

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Subsequent CXL error-reporting code paths need to log the PCI Device
Serial Number (DSN) as part of trace events emitted from interrupt or
panic context. Computing the DSN there via pci_get_dsn() requires PCI
configuration space reads, which are slow, can fail when the link is
down or frozen, and may not be safe in some contexts.

Add a u64 dsn field to struct pci_dev and populate it from pci_get_dsn()
during pci_init_capabilities() at probe time via pci_dsn_init(). Only
write dev->dsn when the read succeeds. The zero initial value from
pci_dev allocation already represents 'no DSN available.'

Remove the now-redundant dsn member from the pciehp struct controller
along with its kernel-doc. Drop the pci_get_slot()/pci_dev_put() pairs
in pciehp_configure_device() and pcie_init() that existed solely to
read the DSN into ctrl->dsn. Use pdev->dsn in pciehp_device_replaced()
for the device-replacement comparison.

pci_get_dsn() is not modified because it remains a pure config-space read
with no side effects on pci_dev. The cache is written exclusively by
pci_dsn_init() at probe time.

Changes in v18 -> v19:
- Update pciehp hotplug to use cached DSN.
- Swapped order in series with
("cxl: Add port and dport identifiers to CXL AER trace events ")
- Update function documentation for pci_dsn_init()

Changes in v17->v18:
- New commit.
