Description

On fresh boot on a Dell C6145 (in this case, a 4x12-core Opteron box), fmd dies on boot with "Assertion failed: comma != NULL, file ../../common/pcibus/did_props.c, line 401, function dev_for_hostbridge"

I suspect that http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=117229 is the same bug - since the C6145 has an external PCIe port for connecting to e.g. a Dell C410x external PCIe chassis.

oi_148, will attach any dumps residing on the machine, as well as prtconf and similar, as soon as I bring up networking on the machine.

In the mentioned thread, Mike mentions the range between his laptop working and not working was onnv_123 to onnv_126, within that range falls:

        6472670 Internal pci bus numbering should be independent of bios enumera
tion order (for non-x8400 systems)

Which changed PCI enumeration and made it persist. Some of the code explicitly states that it will now discover childless root-bridges which would previously missed. Seems suspiciously fitting.

I don't know much about this area, but I would suspect that the right thing to be doing is making fmd more robust.

As the fm-discuss thread suggests, it looks like we assume any node which
pci_hostbridges_find discovers also have a driver attached
(by way of DEVprop_set, which pulls their devfs path and lets dev_for_hostbridge attempt to adjust it).

It looks like the path we get back from di_devfs_path is "/pci", because we have no parent nodes and di_bus_addr() is NULL, which does, I think, point toward no driver being attached as the linked thread states.

I think this means that fmd needs to be more resilient, as above, rather than enumeration being incorrect.
