Thanks a lot Sean.

I think you cannot SOB if the patches are not flowing through you (as may be the case for my two additions). Perhaps a Tested-by: or Acked-by: would be more appropriate.

I tested it out with the QEMU EA Patches here:
	[https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg00348.html]

Also, I found 1 trivial typo in the commit message of PATCH 1/4:
	"Signed-off-by: Signed-off-by: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>"

Aargh!  I need to be more careful.

In any case, what should be the next course of action?

  A) I receive Tested-by/Acked-by from Sean, and resend the four patches?

  B) Bjorn takes these as is, but fixes the headers as needed.

Bjorn, what do you think?

Thanks,
David Daney

I won't be able to test it out until next week, but I like how it looks :)

Thanks Again,
Sean

Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] PCI: Add support for PCI Enhanced Allocation
"BARs"

From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

The original patches are from Sean O. Stalley. I made a few tweaks, but feel
that it is substancially Sean's work, so I am keeping the patch set version
numbering scheme going.

Tested on Cavium ThunderX system with 4 Root Complexes containing 50
devices/bridges provisioned with EA.

Here is Sean's description of the patches:

PCI Enhanced Allocation is a new method of allocating MMIO & IO
resources for PCI devices & bridges. It can be used instead of the traditional
PCI method of using BARs.

EA entries are hardware-initialized to a fixed address.
Unlike BARs, regions described by EA are cannot be moved.
Because of this, only devices which are permanently connected to the PCI
bus can use EA. A removable PCI card must not use EA.

This patchset adds support for using EA entries instead of BARs on Root
Complex Integrated Endpoints.

The Enhanced Allocation ECN is publicly available here:

tion_23_Oct_2014_Final.pdf


Changes from V1:
	- Use generic PCI resource claim functions (instead of EA-specific
functions)
	- Only add support for RCiEPs (instead of all devices).
	- Removed some debugging messages leftover from early testing.

Changes from V2 (By David Daney):
	- Add ea_cap to struct pci_device, to aid in finding the EA capability.
	- Factored EA entity decoding into a separate function.
	- Add functions to find EA entities by BEI or Property.
	- Add handling of EA provisioned bridges.
	- Add handling of EA SRIOV BARs.
	- Try to assign proper resource parent so that SRIOV device creation
can occur.

Changes from V3 (By David Daney):
	- Discarded V3 changes and started over fresh based on Sean's V2.
	- Add more support/checking for Entry Properties.
	- Allow EA behind bridges.
	- Rewrite some error messages.
	- Add patch 3/5 to prevent resizing, and better handle
           assigning, of fixed EA resources.
	- Add patch 4/5 to handle EA provisioned SRIOV devices.
	- Add patch 5/5 to handle EA provisioned bridges.

Changes from V4 (By David Daney):
	- Drop patch 5/5 to handle EA provisioned bridges.
	- Drop cases for bridge resources in 2/5.
	- Drop unnecessary fallback resource parent handling in 3/5
	- Small code formatting improvements.

David Daney (2):
   PCI: Handle IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED when sizing and assigning resources.
   PCI: Handle Enhanced Allocation (EA) capability for SRIOV devices.

Sean O. Stalley (2):
   PCI: Add Enhanced Allocation register entries
   PCI: Add support for Enhanced Allocation devices
