Before this code section, there is the following function call pci_parse_request_of_pci_ranges(), which performs a simple validation for the IORESOURCE_MEM resource type. This validation checks if the resource is marked as prefetchable, if so, an error message "non-prefetchable memory resource required" is given and a return code with the -EINVAL value. In other words, to reach the code that Vidya is changing, it can be only if the resource is a non-prefetchable, any prefetchable resource will be blocked by the previous call, if I'm not mistaken. Having this in mind, Vidya's change will not make the expected result aimed by him. I don't see any problem by having resources larger than 4GB, from what I'm seeing in the databook there isn't any restricting related to that as long they don't consume the maximum space that is addressable by the system (depending on if they are 32-bit or 64-bit system address). To be honest, I'm not seeing a system that could have this resource larger than 4GB, but it might exist some exception that I don't know of, that's why I accepted Alan's patch to warn the user that the resource exceeds the maximum for the 32 bits so that he can be aware that he *might* be consuming the maximum space addressable. -Gustavo > > > prefetchable window and they can be greater than 4GB in size for all > > right reasons.
