Alex reported seeing a bunch of messages in his boot log in QEMU since -rc1 which appears to be the fault of, as far as I can tell, e0df442ee49 ("cacheinfo: Check 'cache-unified' property to count cache leaves") like: cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU N
The RISC-V QEMU virt machine doesn't define any cache properties of any sort in the dtb, and unlike the arm64 virt machine I tried (a72) doesn't have some registers that cache info is discoverable from. When we call of_count_cache_leaves() from init_of_cache_level() and there are of course no reasons to increment leaves, we hit the return 2 case you mention above, setting num_leaves to 2.
As you mention, when we hit cache_setup_of_node(), levels is not going to be set to one, so we trigger the condition (this_leaf->level != 1) and, as there are no cache nodes, break out of the loop without incrementing index. Index is therefore less than 2, and thus we return -ENOENT. This is of course propagated back out to detect_cache_attributes() and triggers the "Unable to detect..." printout :(
With this patch(set), the spurious error prints go away, but we are left with a "Early cacheinfo failed, ret = -22" which will need to be fixed.
So I think this also needs to be: Fixes: de0df442ee49 ("cacheinfo: Check 'cache-unified' property to count cache leaves")
Probably also needs a: Reported-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> since he's found an actual, rather than theoretical, problem!
Cheers, Conor.
