There is a big caveat here that this may be too late as other drivers
may have already mapped their BARs - so probably too late in the pci scan
for it to be effective. In fact, after using this for a while, it seems
to fail too often, particularly on CFL systems.

Help me understand the "too late" part. Do you mean that there is
enough available space for the max BAR size, but it's fragmented and
therefore not usable? And that if we could do something earlier,
before drivers have claimed their devices, we might be able to compact
the BARs of other devices to make a larger contiguous available space?

yes. I will dig some logs I had in the past to confirm.


That is theoretically possible, but I think the current
pci_resize_resource() only supports resizing of the specified BAR and
any upstream bridge windows. I don't think it supports moving BARs of
other devices.

Sergei did some nice work that might help with this situation because
it can move BARs around more generally. It hasn't quite achieved
critical mass yet, but maybe this would help get there:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201218174011.340514-1-s.miroshnichenko@xxxxxxxxx/

oh... I hadn't thought about pause/ioremap/unpause. That looks rad :).
So it seems this would integrate neatly with
pci_resize_resource() (what this patch is doing), as long as drivers for
devices affected implement
.bar_fixed()/.rescan_prepare()/.rescan_done(). That seems it would solve
our issues too.

thanks

If I understand Sergei's series correctly, this rebalancing actually
cannot be done during enumeration because we only move BARs if a
driver for the device indicates that it supports it, so there would be
no requirement to do this early.

Do we have any alternative to be done in the PCI subsystem during the
scan? There is other work in progress to allow i915 to use the rest of
the device memory even with a smaller BAR, but it would be better if we
can improve our chances of succeeding the resize.
