Hi Yinghai, Bjorn I found a memory resource assignment fail after I did remove and rescan a bridge device, I don't know whether this is a kernel bug, I hope could get some advice from you, thanks!

I compared above log and found after we did remove and rescan, the bridge requested resource size extended to 0x06000000, and when system boot up, it requested only 0x4800000. In hotplug(remove and rescan) path, we would call calculate_mem_align() function which would align the resource at 0x2000000. I wonder is this a resource assignment bug ? Thanks! Yijing. -- Thanks!
