I removed the period from ".kvm@" so the KVM list is correctly Cc'd.

Sorry I don't quite follow. pci-hyperv allocates MMIO for the bridge window
in hv_pci_allocate_bridge_windows() and registers the MMIO ranges to the co=
re
PCI driver via pci_add_resource(), and later the core PCI driver probes the
bus/device(s), validates the BAR sizes and the pre-initialized BAR values, =
and
uses the BAR configuration. IMO the whole process doesn't require the bit
PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY to be pre-set, and there should be no issue to
delay setting the bit to a PCI device device's .probe() -> pci_enable_devic=
e().

When a device is removed, hv_eject_device_work() ->=20
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() triggers the PCI device driver's .remove()=
,
which calls pci_disable_device(), which instructs the hypervisor to unmap
the vBAR from the pBAR, so there should not be any issue when a new device
is added later.=20

With the patch, if no PCI device driver is loaded, the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY
bit stays in the off state, and the hypervisor doesn't map the vBAR to the =
pBAR.
I don't see any issue with this.

hv_pci_allocate_bridge_windows() -> vmbus_allocate_mmio() makes sure
that there is enough MMIO space for the devices on the bus, so the core
PCI driver doesn't have to worry about any MMIO conflict issue.

Please let me know if I understood and answered the questions.

Thanks,
