Hello, I am trying to hotplug a device with a large BAR to a KVM guest, but it is failing to map the memory for the BAR. >From dmesg, here is the output when hotplugging the device, with the failure on BAR 2: [ 891.614017] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.S60_: ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_CHECK event [ 891.614036] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.S60_: Device check in hotplug_event() [ 891.614100] pci 0000:00:0c.0: [1af4:1110] type 00 class 0x050000 [ 891.614277] pci 0000:00:0c.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff] [ 891.614391] pci 0000:00:0c.0: reg 0x14: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff] [ 891.614557] pci 0000:00:0c.0: reg 0x18: [mem 0x00000000-0x7fffffff 64bit pref] [ 891.614670] pci 0000:00:0c.0: reg 0x20: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff pref] [ 891.614780] pci 0000:00:0c.0: reg 0x24: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff pref] [ 891.615277] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 2: no space for [mem size 0x80000000 64bit pref] [ 891.615279] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x80000000 64bit pref] [ 891.615281] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 4: assigned [mem 0xc0300000-0xc03fffff pref] [ 891.617759] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 5: assigned [mem 0xc0400000-0xc04fffff pref] [ 891.620473] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0xc0202000-0xc0202fff] [ 891.623148] pci 0000:00:0c.0: BAR 1: assigned [mem 0xc0203000-0xc0203fff] When the node is rebooted, the allocation gets fixed. Also, when a similar device has previously been removed, it can allocate the memory that has previously been used for that device to this device, so allocation will succeed Note, this is on a guest that has 9.8GB of RAM. The same result was also observed on guests with lower amounts of RAM. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need any additional data?
