PCI: Relax bridge window tail sizing rules
During remove & rescan cycle, PCI subsystem will recalculate and adjust the bridge window sizing that was initially done by "BIOS". The size calculation is based on the required alignment of the largest resource among the downstream resources as per pbus_size_mem() (unimportant or zero parameters marked with "..."): min_align = calculate_mem_align(aligns, max_order); size0 = calculate_memsize(size, ..., min_align); inside calculate_memsize(), for the largest alignment: min_align = align1 >> 1; ... return min_align; and then in calculate_memsize(): return ALIGN(max(size, ...), align); If the original bridge window sizing tried to conserve space, this will lead to massive increase of the required bridge window size when the downstream has a large disparity in BAR sizes. E.g., with 16MiB and 16GiB BARs this results in 24GiB bridge window size even if 16MiB BAR does not require gigabytes of space to fit. When doing remove & rescan for a bus that contains such a PCI device, a larger bridge window is suddenly required on rescan but when there is a bridge window upstream that is already assigned based on the original size, it cannot be enlarged to the new requirement. This causes the allocation of the bridge window to fail (0x600000000 > 0x400ffffff): pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 02-04] pci 0000:01:00.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x406fffff] pci 0000:01:00.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:03:00.0: device released pci 0000:02:01.0: device released pcieport 0000:01:00.0: scanning [bus 02-04] behind bridge, pass 0 pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:02:01.0: scanning [bus 03-03] behind bridge, pass 0 pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 0 [mem 0x6400000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 2 [mem 0x6000000000-0x63ffffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:03:00.0: ROM [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff pref] pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: scanning [bus 03-03] behind bridge, pass 1 pcieport 0000:01:00.0: scanning [bus 02-04] behind bridge, pass 1 pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem size 0x600000000 64bit pref]: can't assign; no space pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem size 0x600000000 64bit pref]: failed to assign pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff]: assigned pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 2 [mem size 0x400000000 64bit pref]: can't assign; no space pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 2 [mem size 0x400000000 64bit pref]: failed to assign pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 0 [mem size 0x01000000 64bit pref]: can't assign; no space pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 0 [mem size 0x01000000 64bit pref]: failed to assign pci 0000:03:00.0: ROM [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff pref]: assigned pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff] This is a major surprise for users who are suddenly left with a device that was working fine with the original bridge window sizing. Even if the already assigned bridge window could be enlarged by reallocation in some cases (something the current code does not attempt to do), it is not possible in general case and the large amount of wasted space at the tail of the bridge window may lead to other resource exhaustion problems on Root Complex level (think of multiple PCIe cards with VFs and BAR size disparity in a single system). PCI BARs only need natural alignment (PCIe r6.1, sec 7.5.1.2.1) and bridge memory windows need 1MiB (sec 7.5.1.3). The current bridge window tail alignment rule was introduced in the commit 5d0a8965 ("[PATCH] 2.5.14: New PCI allocation code (alpha, arm, parisc) [2/2]") that only states: "pbus_size_mem: core stuff; tested with randomly generated sets of resources". It does not explain the motivation for the extra tail space allocated that is not truly needed by the downstream resources. As such, it is far from clear if it ever has been required by any HW. To prevent devices with BAR size disparity from becoming unusable after remove & rescan cycle, attempt to do a truly minimal allocation for memory resources if needed. First check if the normally calculated bridge window will not fit into an already assigned upstream resource. In such case, try with relaxed bridge window tail sizing rules instead where no extra tail space is requested beyond what the downstream resources require. Only enforce the alignment requirement of the bridge window itself (normally 1MiB). With this patch, the resources are successfully allocated: pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: scanning [bus 03-03] behind bridge, pass 1 pcieport 0000:01:00.0: scanning [bus 02-04] behind bridge, pass 1 pcieport 0000:01:00.0: Assigned bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] to [bus 02-04] cannot fit 0x600000000 required for 0000:02:01.0 bridging to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] to [bus 03] requires relaxed alignment rules pcieport 0000:01:00.0: Assigned bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x406fffff] to [bus 02-04] free space at [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref]: assigned pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff]: assigned pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 2 [mem 0x6000000000-0x63ffffffff 64bit pref]: assigned pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 0 [mem 0x6400000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref]: assigned pci 0000:03:00.0: ROM [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff pref]: assigned pci 0000:02:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x40400000-0x405fffff] pci 0000:02:01.0: bridge window [mem 0x6000000000-0x6400ffffff 64bit pref] This patch draws inspiration from the initial investigations and work by Mika Westerberg.
