Need a clarification here to ensure I understand you right. When you
refer to address translation above, I assume you are referring to a
situation where the CPU issues reads to an address X (in CPU address
space), which goes through a translation at the pcie root port /
controller, and appears as a read from address Y (as seen on the PCIe
bus side)?

In such a situation, my understanding (may be wrong) was that the
lspci is supposed to be showing the PCI address Y for the bar (not
address X in physical address space). If this understanding is wrong
(and the lspci is supposed to show address CPU X for the bar), then
yes, this patch is likely not correct.

But I do think lspci should have a way to indicate when the bars in
 /sys/bus/pci/.../resource and
 /sys/bus/pci/.../config
get out of sync.

Thanks,

Rajat
