First off, I think that's specious, patch 11 is not blocking anything, if you and Tomasz want to drop it go ahead and take responsibility of the consequences. I am not saying patch 11 is perfect, it is there to review, if you spot bugs point them out. If you are interested and willing to make an effort to understand why I asked Tomasz to integrate it, a bit of background here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/44830 If we want to drop patch 11, we are going to discard whatever FW set-up at FW/OS hand-off and reassign everything. Want to do it ? Go ahead. I wrote it in my previous email, probably it was not clear, so, here we go again. If we want to at least consider the FW PCI configuration at FW/OS handoff, we should read the PCI bridge apertures and claim them, when that fails reassign the corresponding PCI bus hierarchy (which means releasing the bridge resources and downstream devices and reassign them), that's what pci=realloc does. I think that it is a command line option since it has to be a choice, ie overriding FW set-up should be an option, not a default. Patch 11 does what x86 does in arch code arch/x86/pci/i386.c, pcibios_resource_survey() and that works for them (of course, minus quirks that do exist). I could integrate the code implementing pci=realloc in patch 11 so that we realloc by default all resources claimed that failed (which means that bridges are resized accordingly and you won't be forced to use pci=realloc on command line). > [ 0.752916] pci 0000:01:00.0: VF(n) BAR2 space: [mem 0x80360800000-0x8037fffffff 64bit pref] (contains BAR2 for 63 VFs) > [ 0.771799] pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-06] > [ 0.777054] pci 0000:00:00.0: root [mem 0x80100100000-0x8013fffffff window] res [mem 0x8013ff00000-0x8013fffffff] nr 14 > [ 0.787846] pci 0000:00:00.0: pci_claim_bridge_resource:714 1: i:14 > [ 0.794135] pci 0000:00:00.0: root [mem 0x80300000000-0x8037fffffff window] res [mem 0x80360000000-0x8037fffffff 64bit pref] nr 15 > [ 0.805881] pci 0000:00:00.0: pci_claim_bridge_resource:714 1: i:15 > [ 0.812155] pci 0000:01:00.0: root [mem 0x8013ff00000-0x8013fffffff] res [mem 0x8013ff00000-0x8013fffffff 64bit] nr 0 > [ 0.822773] pci 0000:01:00.0: root [mem 0x80360000000-0x8037fffffff 64bit pref] res [mem 0x80360000000-0x803607fffff 64bit pref] nr 2 > [ 0.834778] pci 0000:01:00.0: root [mem 0x80360000000-0x8037fffffff 64bit pref] res [mem 0x8037ff00000-0x8037fffffff pref] nr 6 > [ 0.846265] pci 0000:01:00.0: can't claim BAR 9 [mem 0x80360800000-0x8037fffffff 64bit pref]: address conflict with 0000:01:00.0 [mem 0x8037ff00000-0x8037fffffff pref] > [ 0.861237] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 9: no space for [mem size 0x1f800000 64bit pref] > [ 0.868811] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 9: failed to assign [mem size 0x1f800000 64bit pref] > > > I keep saying this but the type of CPU is not important when it comes > to PCIe. Both PCIe and ACPI are governed by specs. If it is working > for x86 and i64; it needs to work for ARM64 as well. That's theory. In practice there is massive legacy there and PCI resource assignment is carried out in an arch specific way (otherwise there would be no pci claiming/assignment code in arch/* right ?) and the resource claiming/assignment strictly depends on FW set-up, like it or lump it, that's the way it *currently* is. I wrote in my previous email, the status of PCI resources at OS/FW handoff is not strictly mandated by the PCI standard AFAIK (it is covered by 3.5 "Device state at Firmware/Operating System Handoff" in the PCI FW spec revision 3.1), so what I suggest above is the only option we have (or you just discard FW configuration altogether, that's what happens if all PCI resources are reassigned, it is a choice to be made and it is neither correct nor wrong, I wish it would). > Even ARM64 has the luxury to omit the old BIOS behaviors.

Look no further, firmware is different. How do we want to proceed ? Lorenzo
