Per the UEFI Spec, GetBarAttributes() should return the Host address.
But current implementation returns the address read from the BAR,
which is the Device address.
Per the description of AddressTranslationOffset in ACPI spec:
"For bridges that translate addresses across the bridge, this is the
offset that must be added to the address on the secondary side to
obtain the address on the primary side."
HostAddress = DeviceAddress + AddressTranslationOffset.

The ACPI spec also says: "Non-bridge devices must list 0 for all Address Translation offset bits." However, the UEFI spec (v2.7) says, under EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.GetBarAttributes(): "The ACPI Specification does not define how to the use the Address Translation Offset for non-bridge devices. The UEFI Specification is extending the definition of Address Translation Offset to support systems that have different mapping for HostAddress and DeviceAddress. [...] Address Translation Offset. Offset to apply to the Starting address of a BAR to convert it to a PCI address. This value is zero unless the HostAddress and DeviceAddress for the BAR are different." So, I think the patch is correct, but the commit message should not refer to the ACPI spec. It should refer to / quote the UEFI spec only. > HostAddress = DeviceAddress + AddressTranslationOffset. The sentences from the UEFI spec are "Address Translation Offset. Offset to apply to the Starting address of a BAR to convert it to a PCI address", and "Address Range Minimum.

Laszlo, Your understanding is: DeviceAddress = HostAddress + AddressTranslationOffset But my patch assumes: HostAddress = DeviceAddress + AddressTranslationOffset They are totally different. If I follow your understanding, the patch is wrong! Since UEFI spec doesn't describe "apply to" in sentence " Offset to apply to the Starting address of a BAR to convert it to a PCI address" very clearly, I quoted the statement from ACPI spec. Your understanding to "apply to" is "add", my understanding is "minus".

The AddrRangeMin field contains the address on the secondary side of a bridge, and the primary value can be obtained by 'applying' the ATO. In my opinion, applying a (positive or negative) offset implies addition, not subtraction, as subtraction involves negating the second addend before applying it. And the secondary side of the host bridge is clearly the PCI side. It does mean the offset field is signed, though. So I don't agree with the conclusion that no clarification is required. We need to make sure the spec is crystal clear in this regard. But I do agree with the change, I think it is the only solution that makes sense. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel

And the > secondary side of the host bridge is clearly the PCI side. Wait, now I'm even more confused. (1) Up-thread you wrote, "AddrRangeMin is indeed already defined to be a host address [...]". (2) Here you write, "the secondary side of the host bridge is clearly the PCI side [...] The AddrRangeMin field contains the address on the secondary side of a bridge". --> This means that AddrRangeMin is a PCI address. Thus, to me these statements appear to conflict. > It does mean the offset field is signed, though. > > So I don't agree with the conclusion that no clarification is > required. We need to make sure the spec is crystal clear in this > regard. But I do agree with the change, I think it is the only > solution that makes sense. My understanding of "Table 121. QWORD Address Space Descriptor" is: - AddrRangeMin --> host address. - ATO --> the UINT64 value that the *caller* of GetBarAttributes() has to add, in UINT64 modular arithmetic, to AddrRangeMin, to calculate the PCI address, after GetBarAttributes() returns. Now, if I understand the *patch* correctly, - the current (pre-patch) code returns a PCI address in "Descriptor->AddrRangeMin", which is wrong, - in addition, we already have the ATO, in "Descriptor->AddrTranslationOffset", that we have to add to the PCI address, to end up with a host address. If that's the case, then I think the patch is good, but it is incomplete. Namely, - To return a host address to the caller in "Descriptor->AddrRangeMin", we add the ATO to it, fetched from the Root Bridge IO protocol. Great. - However, think of what happens when the caller wants to recompute the PCI address! According to the UEFI spec, the ATO that the caller gets in the QWORD descriptor has to be *added* to AddrRangeMin. This means that, the client code would ultimately result in: ClientSidePciAddress == (OriginalPciAddress + OriginalATO) + OriginalATO This makes no sense. In order to end up with the original PCI address, the client side ATO must be the modular UINT64 *negative* of the original ATO, so that they ultimately cancel out on the client side, like this: ClientSidePciAddress == (OriginalPciAddress + OriginalATO) + ClientSideATO == (OriginalPciAddress + OriginalATO) + (-OriginalATO) == OriginalPciAddress Therefore, I think that the patch must, *in addition*, negate the ATO before returning, like this: + Descriptor->AddrRangeMin += Descriptor->AddrTranslationOffset; + Descriptor->AddrTranslationOffset = (-Descriptor->AddrTranslationOffset); Thanks Laszlo _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel

I think you're right. But now, I am no longer convinced AddrRangeMin should contain the host address, given that we are inverting the sense of both the AddrRangeMin field and the translation offset. So IIUC, if we were to decide that AddrRangeMin contains the raw BAR value, and the translation offset that needs to be applied to produce the CPU address is added to it, we are quite close to the intent of the definition of QWord, and our PCI I/O code is correct. Only in this case, we need to fix all users of the protocol (i.e., GOP producers) Given the low likelihood that this ever worked correctly for cases where the translation offset != 0, I think that is perhaps the best course of action. Apologies for adding to the confusion. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel

In practice this would mean reverting <https://mantis.uefi.org/mantis/view.php?id=1502>. By now the fix for Mantis#1502 has been in three released versions of the spec (one of the 2.5 Errata, 2.6 and 2.7). I'm fine both ways, as long as code and spec are consistent. From a development perspective though, I think the spec is harder to change than the code, no matter how ugly the code ends up. Thanks!
