I don't understand this one at all. It looks like you mashed together at least two changes: (1) prefer I/O space above 64K if available, and (2) mark secondary bus resources with IORESOURCE_IO_32 when the P2P bridge I/O window address decode type is PCI_IO_RANGE_TYPE_32 and use that to limit allocations. I don't see the justification for (1). What problem does this solve? I don't see the need for (2). Even without the start/end constraints in pci_bus_alloc_resource(), we only allocate from the resources available on the bus. Apparently you think this list might be incorrect, i.e., it might include I/O space above 64K when it shouldn't. I don't think that's the case, but if it is, we should fix the list of bus resources, not add a hack to avoid parts of it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
