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:

description:
        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.

Seeing this on my ThinkPad T410 now with the wireless card removed.

I've been seeing this on one specific hardware configuration since bringup.
Currently on omnios-d08e0e5 [OmniOS r151014]

This is running on a HP Compaq 6005 Pro

Any progress on this bug?
