[PATCH 1/5] PCI: Don't check resource_size() in pci_bus_alloc_resource()

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Tue Mar 11 2014 - 13:42:55 EST


Paul reported that after f75b99d5a77d ("PCI: Enforce bus address limits in
resource allocation") on a 32-bit kernel (CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT not
set), intel-gtt complained "can't ioremap flush page - no chipset
flushing". In addition, other PCI resource allocations, e.g., for bridge
windows, failed.

This happens because we incorrectly skip bus resources of
[mem 0x00000000-0xffffffff] because we think they are of size zero.
When resource_size_t is 32 bits wide, resource_size() on
[mem 0x00000000-0xffffffff] returns 0 because (r->end - r->start + 1)
overflows.

Therefore, we can't use "resource_size() == 0" to decide that allocation
from this resource will fail. allocate_resource() should fail anyway if it
can't satisfy the address constraints, so we should just depend on that.

A [mem 0x00000000-0xffffffff] bus resource is obviously not really valid,
but we do fall back to it as a default when we don't have information about
host bridge apertures.
