Hi, On my system in the sysfs, I see that: 1) Some PCI-PCI bridges have only 1 file called "resource" 2) Some PCI-PCI bridges have only 2 files called "resource" and "resource0" 3) Some PCI-PCI bridges have only 3 files called "resource" and "resource0" and "resource0_wc". I looked at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt and it mentions that resource PCI resource host addresses (ascii, ro) resource0..N PCI resource N, if present (binary, mmap, rw[1]) resource0_wc..N_wc PCI WC map resource N, if prefetchable (binary, mmap) My questions: a) I believe that for PCIe end point devices, there shall be 1 resourceN file for each of the BARs programmed. For the PCI-PCI bridges however, do these files represent the memory accessible behind the bridge (in case no BAR register is programmed)? b) Can you tell me where in the source code are these files created? I have some PCI-PCI bridges where I see the "resource" file, but no "resource0" files. I'm trying to debug it (See lspci below). root@oaken-em0:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:0b:0e.0# cat resource 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x00000000dd000000 0x00000000dd1fffff 0x0000000000000200 <--- I'm hoping to see a "resource0" for the memory behind. 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 root@oaken-em0:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:0b:0e.0# 0b:0e.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.
