Thank you for reply.
As far as I know, the PCI mem resouces are allocated mainly by BIOS on
Intel based system, but they can also be allocated by linux kernel
according to boot command option.
I tried to find the routine in kernel source directory, but it was not
easy to find it.
I want to find the source code in which linux kernel allocates the I/O
memory for PCI device.
I had a problem in my pci device which uses SR-IOV function indicates that
the MMIO is allocated in sufficiently and my BIOS is old version,
so I hope to solve the problem using the linux kerenl for allocating the
I/O mem
for the pci device and to know where the source code is for that.
