[PATCH v2 7/7] PCI/quirks: Avoid certain address on Genoa systems
From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 07:35:21 EST
While testing the resource placement changes, tests hit a case where
igb fails to probe when BAR 0 is placed at 0x9c000000:
90000000-9cffffff : PCI Bus 0000:a0
- 90000000-902fffff : PCI Bus 0000:a1
- 90000000-900fffff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90000000-900fffff : igb
- 90100000-901fffff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90200000-90203fff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90200000-90203fff : igb
+ 9be00000-9c0fffff : PCI Bus 0000:a1
+ 9be00000-9befffff : 0000:a1:00.0
+ 9bf00000-9bf03fff : 0000:a1:00.0
+ 9c000000-9c0fffff : 0000:a1:00.0
9c100000-9c17ffff : amd_iommu
9c180000-9c1803ff : IOAPIC 8

igb: Failed to read reg 0x18!
WARNING: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c:724 at igb_rd32.cold+0x3c/0x4f [igb], CPU#32: kworker/32:1/706

It turns out there is a 64kB iomem black hole at 9c000000 that returns
~0 and this is where igb's BAR 0 resides. If another BAR of the same
card is placed into that address, it is similarly black holed.
Mark the problematic 64kB range reserved using a quirk bound to the
bridge found in the problematic system.

Mario suggested the quirk to be based on the bridge instead of the
endpoint device which certainly looks better and cleaner than the
approach used in v1.
The current plan is to try a different card in the same slot but it is
a bit hard for me to predictable on what timescale that can be done.
