It only can avoid warning with bridge, and still have warning on
devices under the bridge.

also would have problem on transparent bridges, like

BRIDGE_A ---- BRIDGE_AA----DEVICE_AA
                     |
                     \-- BRIDGE_AB ---DEVICE_AB

if only BRIDGE_A and BRIDGE_AA are transparent, and BRIDGE_AB is not.

and if pci_bridge_supports_io() return false for BRIDGE_A.

We will have all three bridges have PCI_BUS_FLAGS_SUPPORTS_IO cleared.
so all will not been sized and will not get assigned io port resource.

later DEVICE_AA could root bus io port as parent, and get io resource
assigned.
but DEVICE_AB will not get assigned.

so we should get rid of pci_bridge_supports_io(), and just check root
resource IO port.


I would suggest this version instead:

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Only try to assign io port only if root bus support
that


Bjorn had asked me to move the IO support check out of
pci_bridge_check_ranges().
It looks like you want to keep it there.

Can you explain your reasons ? Sorry, I just don't understand.

in pci_alloc_child_bus(), child bus's bus_flags will be assigned with
parent's bus_flags.

so if one parent bus has bridge's io bar can not changed, then all
children bus will also
have same bus_flags, and their bridge io bar will not used.

then if BRIDGE_AB is not transparent, we do need to use it's bridge io bar.

If I understand you correctly, we might need to change the code
in pci_read_bridge_io() as follows.

From

	if (!(child->bus_flags & PCI_BUS_FLAGS_SUPPORTS_IO))
		return;

to something like

	if (!(child->bus_flags & PCI_BUS_FLAGS_SUPPORTS_IO)) {
		if (dev->transparent)
			return;
		child->bus_flags |= PCI_BUS_FLAGS_SUPPORTS_IO;
	}

Would that solve the problem you are concerned about ?

Thanks,
Guenter
