Hi Jonathan,

I'm not entirely sure about the scenario here, because you didn't exactly 
explain which steps you used before you the no space for BAR problem 
triggers.

The main goal of this patchset is to help in cases where something is 
first working as expected, then removed and rescanned, it is not expected 
to help on initial enumeration/cases where there is no "first working" 
condition (it might help even there, under some scenarios but that's just 
"bonus", not the original goal I had in mind). 

That being said, there is still caveats even when rescanning. In 
multiple children/multilevel cases, the allocation still greedily follows 
the current policy and only tries to use the minimal strategy when the 
resource can no longer fit. Because the greedy strategy is the default, 
the first allocations can consume the space that would be needed later and 
all allocations should have been done with minimal strategy but due to 
online nature of the resource allocation algorithm it's not able to 
correct its mistake at that point.

(The above by no means implies I wouldn't have interest in looking into 
and addressing other problems besides what this patchset tries to solve.)

The challenge in tracking the allocations is that the sizes are calculated 
long before the allocations occurs so it's pretty hard to track things 
back into the root cause. And there's also the intermediate step too which 
tries to fit the optional (add) sizes.

I think it would be generally useful in tracking these problems to have 
something actually logged about these resource decisions. E.g., there are 
zero pci_dbg()s in pci_bus_distribute_available_resources(). So unless the 
window is adjusted, we have zero information on what's going on so no 
surprise why everyone is "drawing a blank". :-(

What often comes into play in some scenarios is that once a bridge 
window is assigned (res->parent is non-zero), it won't be changed. This 
leads to some code not working as per what likely was the original intent. 
Also adjust_bridge_window() seems to check for res->parent as the first 
thing, maybe check if that prevents distributing the window?

Below is a patch which adds a bit of logging into 
pci_bus_distribute_available_resources().
