Log a message if all BARs of type 0 devices are of
size zero. This can help detecting type 0 devices
not reporting BAR size correctly.

I could be missing something, but I don't think we can do this. I
would think the simplest possible presilicon testing would find errors
like this, and the first attempt to have a driver claim the device
would fail if required BARs were missing, so I'm not sure what this
would add.
While the subject line says "type 0 devices," this code path is also
used for type 1 devices (bridges), and it's quite common for bridges
to have no BARs, which means they would all be hardwired to zero.
It is also legal for even type 0 devices to implement no BARs. They
may be operated entirely via config space or via device-specific BARs
that are unknown to the PCI core.

Thank you for the review.
I observed this issue with an under development EP. Due to some logic problem in EP's firmware, the BAR sizes were reported zero and crash was observed sometime later in PCIe code.
I agree with you that such issues should have been caught in pre-silicon testing, but not sure of pre-si testing details and if the issue was specifically observed with real OS. Also, because the EP is in early stage of development, device driver of EP is not available as of now.
So, I though it will be a good idea to print an information message only for *type 0* devices to give a quick hint if the zero BAR size is expected for the given EP or not. So that SW can contribute to identify HW problem.

Yes, for type 1 devices, it is common to have zero BAR size, so I added log msg for type 0 devices only , which are in-general expected to have valid BARs.

OK, I did not know this . Thank you for sharing this.

I'm interested in this crash. The PCI core should not crash just
because a BAR size is zero, i.e., the BAR looks like it's
unimplemented.

Oh, right, I missed your check of dev->hdr_type.

This is actually quite common. On my garden-variet laptop, this:
$ lspci -v | grep -E "^(\S| (Memory|I/O))"
finds two type 0 devices that have no BARs:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation CM238 Chipset LPC/eSPI Controller
I don't really want to add more dmesg logging for things like this
that are working correctly. In this case, I think the best solution
is to either keep this patch in your private branch for testing or to
manually inspect the dmesg log, where we already log every BAR we
discover, for devices that should have BARs but don't.
