Move config space can be in a separate patch. But it is not absolutely necessary to move the configuration space. The reason I change it is to have config space starting from the beginning of SoC PCIe physical address space. I will drop it in next patch. But add 'an entry in the ranges' and 'fix driver to handle multiple memory ranges' should go together as single patch because the old driver will break when it sees multiple ranges. > >> diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-storm.dtsi b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-storm.dtsi >> index d8f3a1c..039206b 100644 >> --- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-storm.dtsi >> +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-storm.dtsi >> @@ -404,10 +404,11 @@ >> #size-cells = <2>; >> #address-cells = <3>; >> reg = < 0x00 0x1f2b0000 0x0 0x00010000 /* Controller registers */ >> - 0xe0 0xd0000000 0x0 0x00040000>; /* PCI config space */ >> + 0xe0 0x00000000 0x0 0x00040000>; /* PCI config space */ >> reg-names = "csr", "cfg"; >> ranges = <0x01000000 0x00 0x00000000 0xe0 0x10000000 0x00 0x00010000 /* io */ >> - 0x02000000 0x00 0x80000000 0xe1 0x80000000 0x00 0x80000000>; /* mem */ >> + 0x02000000 0x00 0x80000000 0xe1 0x80000000 0x00 0x80000000 /* mem */ >> + 0x02000000 0x10 0x00000000 0xf0 0x00000000 0x10 0x00000000>; /* mem */ >> dma-ranges = <0x42000000 0x80 0x00000000 0x80 0x00000000 0x00 0x80000000 >> 0x42000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x80 0x00000000>; >> interrupt-map-mask = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x7>; > > What is the reason for picking the 0x10.00000000 address?

I will change to use 0xf0 00000000: 0x02000000 0xf0 0x00000000 0xf0 0x00000000 0x10 0x00000000 > Could you get the same effect by extending the 0x80000000 mapping to a length > of 58GB (just before the start of the second window)?

Older kernel and new dtb: the new entry in 'ranges' will overwrite the old entry, so device that requires 32-bit BAR will break. New kernel and old dtb: works fine but without huge bar support. > > Arnd -- Regards, Duc Dang. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
