From 7bd1c365fd124624191d49dcc1eb9759d6017ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Habeck Date: Wed, 12 May 2010 11:14:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/PCI: Add option to not assign BAR's if not already assigned The Linux kernel assigns BARs that a BIOS did not assign, most likely to handle broken BIOSes that didn't enumerate the devices correctly. On UV the BIOS purposely doesn't assign I/O BARs for certain devices/ drivers we know don't use them (examples, LSI SAS, Qlogic FC, ...). We purposely don't assign these I/O BARs because I/O Space is a very limited resource. There is only 64k of I/O Space, and in a PCIe topology that space gets divided up into 4k chucks (this is due to the fact that a pci-to-pci bridge's I/O decoder is aligned at 4k)... Thus a system can have at most 16 cards with I/O BARs: (64k / 4k = 16) SGI needs to scale to >16 devices with I/O BARs. So by not assigning I/O BARs on devices we know don't use them, we can do that (iff the kernel doesn't go and assign these BARs that the BIOS purposely didn't assign). This patch will not assign a resource to a device BAR if that BAR was not assigned by the BIOS, and the kernel cmdline option 'pci=nobar' was specified. This patch is closely modeled after the 'pci=norom' option that currently exists in the tree.
