PCIe downstream ports (Root Ports and switches Downstream Ports) appear to firmware as PCI-PCI bridges and a 4K IO space is allocated for them even if there is no device behind them requesting IO space, all that for hotplug purpose.
However, PCIe devices can work without IO, so there is no need to allocate IO space for hotplug. Signed-off-by: Marcel Apfelbaum <[email protected]> --- v1 -> v2: - Addressed Gerd's comments: - move pci_find_capability out of the loop and call it only once. - more descriptive names for variables Notes: - This patch fixes a 15 PCIe Root ports limitation when used with virtio pci-express devices having no IO space requirements: <qemu cmd line> -M q35 `for i in {1..15}; do echo -device ioh3420,chassis=$i,id=b$i -device virtio-net-pci,bus=b$i,disable-legacy=on; done` - There is a patch on QEMU devel list that tackles the problem from another angle by allowing PCIe downstream ports to not forward IO requests. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg04478.html - The mentioned patch is of course not enough and also requires management software intervention.
