PCI: Retry allocation of only the resource type that failed
Ben Herrenschmidt reported the following problem: - The bus has space for all desired MMIO resources, including optional space for SR-IOV devices - We attempt to allocate I/O port space, but it fails because the bus has no I/O space - Because of the I/O allocation failure, we retry MMIO allocation, requesting only the required space, without the optional SR-IOV space This means we don't allocate the optional SR-IOV space, even though we could. This is related to 0c5be0cb ("PCI: Retry on IORESOURCE_IO type allocations"). This patch changes how we handle allocation failures. We will now retry allocation of only the resource type that failed. If MMIO allocation fails, we'll retry only MMIO allocation. If I/O port allocation fails, we'll retry only I/O port allocation.
