PCI memory reservation failure - 2.4/2.6
From: Alec H. Peterson
Date: Sat May 08 2004 - 09:32:01 EST
Greetings,
Several users (myself included) have reported problems with PCI memory
reservation failures when using Cardbus cards with certain PCMCIA
bridge/motherboard configurations. I believe the problem stems from either
the Cardbus controller or the motherboard BIOS not assigning large enough
aligned blocks of memory to the Cardbus slots.
I am running on a Shuttle XPC (built in mainboard) with a Ricoh RL5C475
single slot PCMCIA/PCI bridge. The current kernel I am using is 2.4.25,
but I have duplicated the problem in 2.4.26 as well as 2.6.5. The lspci
-vv/iomem details (without the patched yenta_socket.o module) are attached.
The fix I propose is as follows:
*** linux-2.4.25/drivers/pcmcia/yenta.c.old Wed Feb 18 13:36:31 2004
--- linux-2.4.25/drivers/pcmcia/yenta.c Fri May 7 05:29:56 2004

start = config_readl(socket, offset) & mask;
end = config_readl(socket, offset+4) | ~mask;
+ #if 1
+ if (!(type & IORESOURCE_IO) && (((end - start) < BRIDGE_SIZE_MIN)
||
+ (start & (end - start))))
+ {
+ printk(KERN_INFO "yenta %s: Preassigned resource start %lx
end %lx too small or not aligned.\n", socket->dev->slot_name, start, end);
+ res->start = res->end = 0;
+ }
+ else
+ #endif
if (start && end > start) {
res->start = start;
res->end = end;
The yenta_allocate_res() routine has a variety of restrictions it places on
memory it assigns itself (it must be >= BRIDGE_SIZE_MIN, <=
BRIDGE_SIZE_MAX, and aligned based on its size). However, the routine does
not place any such restrictions on memory it is assigned by the BIOS. This
is probably the case because it is assumed that such memory will meet the
restrictions, but at least in some cases (such as in my configuration) this
is not the case. I believe this fix will have no affect on properly
functioning BIOS, and it should do the right thing when the BIOS decides it
does not need to allocate enough aligned memory.
However, my experience in the kernel is very limited, so I hope those who
are far more versed in the details of the kernel than I will weigh in.
Thanks!
Alec
