Personally, I think that you should just save the aligned_size / mem_size /
backing_mem_size as a new struct member, as that avoids the risk that someone
later modifies pci_epf_alloc_space() but forgets to update
pci_epf_free_space() accordingly.

But I will leave the decision to the PCI endpoint maintainers.


Kind regards,
Niklas
