  Hi,

 This seems to not support 64bit prefetchable memory windows, at least
 linux doesn't think it does, lspci looks like this:

 00:10.0 PCI bridge: Red Hat, Inc. Device 0001 (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
[ ... ]
 Memory behind bridge: f600-f60f
 Prefetchable memory behind bridge: f800-fbff

 What in the above tells you that 64 bit windows are not supported?

lspci prints 64bit addresses then, like this:

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express
Port 1 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
[ ... ]
I/O behind bridge: 8000-8fff
Memory behind bridge: c000-c01f
Prefetchable memory behind bridge: c020-c03f

 BAR0 is 32 bit non prefetcheable. As far as I can see linux driver
 takes no precautions against access combining that can
 happen with prefetcheable BARs, so non-prefetcheable
 seems safer.

I'm not talking about bar #0, but about the prefetchable memory window
for devices behind the bridge.

cheers,
  Gerd

I'll need to check. v3 I am sending out has this code unchanged.

BAR0 is 32 bit non prefetcheable. As far as I can see linux driver
takes no precautions against access combining that can
happen with prefetcheable BARs, so non-prefetcheable
seems safer. I could make it 64 bit I guess, I just heard that
there is some known bug being worked around in
memory region code triggered somehow by 64 bit, and
waiting for the dust to settle.

 That makes the bridge behave different than everybody else.
 Not a good idea IMHO.

Everybody else has names built up according to an undocumented scheme
which no one can figure out without reading code, so no one uses them.
We need to fix that, but there is, generally, no need for these names
so it stayed low priority.

With the bridge people must use the id to connect devices to it,
so name must be a sane one.

I just sent the patch making bus id for bridges
follow the value set by the user.
That will make the bridge behave in the same way
as everybody else :)
