I'll drop this patch from the current series and make a note to optimize PCIE_BUS_DEFAULT to do a better job of setting MPS in the best possible way. > >>>> diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci.c b/drivers/pci/pci.c index >>>> f5ff01dc4b13..731f78508601 100644 >>>> --- a/drivers/pci/pci.c >>>> +++ b/drivers/pci/pci.c >>>> @@ -94,6 +94,7 @@ unsigned long pci_hotplug_mem_size = >>>> DEFAULT_HOTPLUG_MEM_SIZE; unsigned long pci_hotplug_bus_size = >>>> DEFAULT_HOTPLUG_BUS_SIZE; >>>> >>>> enum pcie_bus_config_types pcie_bus_config = PCIE_BUS_DEFAULT; >>>> +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pcie_bus_config); >>>> >>>> /* >>>> * The default CLS is used if arch didn't set CLS explicitly and not >>>> -- >>>> 2.17.1 >>>> _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
