Correct, see:
f015b53d634a ("PCI: endpoint: Add size check for fixed size BARs in pci_epc_set_bar()")
Actually, Jerome Brunet was also using this weird Renesas R-Car V4H PCIe
controller where BAR4 is a really small fixed-size BAR.
(Even smaller than the iATU minimum alignment requirement for that same
controller.)
See:
793908d60b87 ("PCI: endpoint: Retain fixed-size BAR size as well as aligned size")
But he only appears to have used the vntb epf driver.
Jerome, I suppose that you never ran with the pci-epf-test driver?
pci_epf_alloc_space() works like this:
If the user requests a BAR size that is smaller than the fixed-size BAR,
it will allocate space matching the fixed-size.
As in most cases, having a BAR larger than needed by an EPF driver is
still acceptable.
However, if the user requests a size larger than the fixed-size BAR,
as in your case, we will return an error, as we cannot fulfill the
user's request.
I don't see any alternative other than your/Damien's proposal above.
Unfortunately, all EPF drivers would probably need this same change.
Kind regards,
Niklas
