Hi Sergey,

Thanks for all your work here.  This is a long-standing problem, and
I'm glad you're working on it.

Maybe pci_save_state() should not even save BAR values, since we have
no mechanism to determine whether those saved values are valid?

pci_restore_bars() is a much longer call path than
pci_restore_config_space_range(), so it's a little bit scary just from
the complexity point of view, but I think this does make sense.

But I am concerned that we don't handle bridge BARs the same way (this
is an existing problem, not something you're introducing).

Bridge BARs (if implemented) are dwords 4 and 5, so they are currently
restored as part of this range:

  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 0, 8, 0, false);

If we followed the same pattern as for type 0 devices, this would look
like:

  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 6, 8, 0, false);
  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 4, 5, 10, false);  /* BARs */
  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 0, 3, 0, false);

And after your patch, it would look like:

  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 6, 8, 0, false);
  pci_restore_bars(pdev);
  pci_restore_config_space_range(pdev, 0, 3, 0, false);

I think this would require a little enhancement in pci_restore_bars()
to filter the BAR range based on the hdr_type.

I would propose

  - adding a new patch to split up the bridge restore so the (0, 8)
    range is split into (6, 8); (4, 5); (0, 3), so it matches the type
    0 restore.

  - adding another new patch to filter the BAR range in
    pci_restore_bars().

  - updating this patch to use pci_restore_bars() in both the type 0
    and type 1 paths.

  - possibly adding a patch to make pci_save_state() not save BAR
    values in dev->saved_config_space, and any other changes needed to
    stop reading BARs from that area.

What do you think?
