I would expect that this does not matter at all on ACPI, because the devices that need it are not hot-plugged, and all boot-time devices are probed by the firmware: the ACPI PCI implementation does not reassign any BARs, except for the hotplug case. > Also, can you point me to the OF device tree specification where it > tells how to specify PCI BAR addresses, I would especially be interested > in knowing how to specify fixed SRIOV BAR addresses in the device tree. This is the 'n' bit mentioned sections 2.1.3 and 2.2.1.1 of the PCI binding. When it is set, the OS is not supposed to try to reassign the BAR even on machines that otherwise do a complete rescan. The PCI binding traditionally requires you to list all PCI devices in DT, Linux as an extension (for the flattened DT format) allows leaving out the devices, but in this case you probably need to list every device that has a fixed BAR. > Yes, it is a bit of a hack.

My guess is that it's already there, but even if it's not, this is a generic well-defined case that has a standardized binding, and we should implement that. > For the record: The PCI Enhanced Allocation (EA) capability (approved > by PCI SIG on 23 October 2014) is the proper way to handle this going > forward.

Good, but still this should only be required for the embedded case where you don't have a firmware to probe the bus.
