Partial BAR Address Allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We are carrying a big burden on our firmware to accommodate 32 bit non-prefetchable memory
for supporting all BAR types. 

Endpoint drivers usually try to allocate both a 64 bit and a 32 bit BAR address
for different platforms but they don't usually need both of them. 

I think the behavior changes from card to card. 

I'm looking for a way to get rid of 32 bit BAR addresses and support 64 bit BAR addresses
only. 

I want to see the current state of the kernel. Do we know if all resources need to be assigned
before a driver can become functional. I have seen some patches to relax this but I don't
know the current status.
