This would make sense to VFIO driver. Because current VFIO implementation disallows to mmap sub-page(size < PAGE_SIZE) MMIO BARs which may share the same page with other BARs for security reasons. Thus, we have to handle mmio access to these BARs in QEMU emulation rather than in guest which will cause some performance loss. In our solution, we try to make use of the existing code path of resource_alignment kernel parameter and add a macro to set default alignment for it. Thus we can define this macro by default on some archs which may easily hit the performance issue because of their 64K page. In this series, patch 1,2 fixed bugs of using resource_alignment; patch 3 tried to add a new option for resource_alignment to use IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN to specify the alignment of PCI BARs; patch 4 adds a macro to set the default alignment of all MMIO BARs. Changelog v5: - Rebased against v4.8-rc6 - Drop the patch that forbidding disable memory decoding in pci_reassigndev_resource_alignment() Changelog v4: - Rebased against v4.8-rc1 - Drop one irrelevant patch - Drop the patch that adding wildcard to resource_alignment to enforce the alignment of all MMIO BARs to be at least PAGE_SIZE - Change the format of option "noresize" of resource_alignment - Code style improvements Changelog v3: - Ignore enforced alignment to fixed BARs - Fix issue that disabling memory decoding when reassigning the alignment - Only enable default alignment on PowerNV platform Changelog v2: - Ignore enforced alignment to VF BARs on pci_reassigndev_resource_alignment() Yongji Xie (4): PCI: Ignore enforced alignment when kernel uses existing firmware setup PCI: Ignore enforced alignment to VF BARs PCI: Add a new option for resource_alignment to reassign alignment PCI: Add a macro to set default alignment for all PCI devices Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 9 +++-- arch/powerpc/include/asm/pci.h | 4 +++ drivers/pci/pci.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 3 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5
