I have two issues here:
1) hose->last_busno is currently the highest bus number found by
pci_scan_child_bus(). If I understand correctly,
pci_bus_insert_busn_res() is supposed to update the core's idea of the
host bridge's bus number aperture. (Actually, I guess it just updates
the *end* of the aperture, since we supply the start directly to
pci_scan_root_bus()). The aperture and the highest bus number we
found are not related, except that we should have:
hose->first_busno <=3D bus->subordinate <=3D hose->last_busno
If we set the aperture to [first_busno - last_busno], we artificially
prevent some hotplug.
2) We already have a way to add resources to a root bus: the
pci_add_resource() used to add I/O port and MMIO apertures. I think
it'd be a lot simpler to just use that same interface for the bus
number aperture, e.g.,
pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->io_space);
pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->mem_space);
pci_add_resource(&resources, hose->busnr_space);
bus =3D pci_scan_root_bus(dev, next_busno, pci_ops, sysdata, &resources=
);
This is actually a bit redundant, since "next_busno" should be the
same as hose->busnr_space->start. So if we adopted this approach, we
might want to eventually drop the "next_busno" argument.
